The article provides the results of testing a simple trading strategy in three modes: "1 minute OHLC", "Every tick" and "Every tick based on real ticks" using actual historical data.

Based on my research in another forum where users had a very similar issue, retroactively installing a previous Build of MT5 can help:

MT5-Last-Official-Release
MT5-Last-Official-Release

  • forge.mql5.io
Provide the executable files to downgrade to the last official release of MT5. Useful after an unexpected update to a beta.

This should only be done once a problem is clearly identified as caused by a new build. It's certainly not yet the case here.
 
Heavy backtesting for like 10-20 years? My Macbook also lags if I do for that long time period.

I agree. The OP has left us to basically take shots in the dark.

Based on my experience with two broker-dealers' MT5 terminals, Build 6061 has been pushed out as a Release version. Interestingly, the "Last-Official-Release" Builds exclude Build 6061. Therefore, Build 6061 appears to remain a Beta Build.

There are reasons other than an MT5 crash that are causing your backtest lag─given the fact that didn't mention any crash:

  • Running code that is inefficient in the Tester.
  • Testing on real ticks for 10 to 20 years.
  • A slow CPU.
  • A lack of a network farm.
IMHO, your question is better suited for another Forum thread.

yes, I have the same problem when backtesting on 10year data.
 
what is the solution? I believe this started since you added Agentic AI on MT5.
