Strategy tester slow after run test

[frcardim]

Hi,

After I run a test in the strategy tester, after finishing the equity chart and the message "Connection Closed" appears in the daily panel, it takes almost 2 minutes to finish the test, as if it were waiting for a response from the MetaTrader website.

Does anyone know what might be happening? Thanks!

I seen this issue happening sometimes when tester agents being stucks for some reasons. 

Instead of reinstalling MT5, I suggest to restart your pc.

Also, try to start visual mode or to backrest different EAs.

I try do delete default.tpl template (there is no file tester.tpl) and do not solve, after I delete cache in folder "<data folder>/Tester/Cache" the test finishes without hangs.

You're welcome, sir.

And well done!

I also clean out any unwanted files from Data Folder==>MQL5==>Profiles==>Tester from time to time.
