Strategy tester way slower

[Maarten Hunse]

Hi all, after some software updates my strategy tester got really slow, way slower than it was. On a particular system I use, I tested around 8 passes per hour. When I use it after my software update, it takes more than 24 hours to hit 12 passes. Is there anyone having an idea what to do about this? really slows down my building and testing process. have a nice weekend and thanks

The backtest process is slow because the EA creates too many objects per tick, then deletes them, and recreates them.

To resolve this, here are some ways:

- Check the EA settings for a function to disable drawing objects.

- Instead of modeling = Every tick, change it to Price Open Only.

Hope this helps you,

sincerely.
