You should read the article The Fundamentals of Testing in MetaTrader 5:


I have tried the cloud, at the beginning, it worked very fast, but about 700 pass done, the cloud stop, no pass done any more.  I have enough balance in my account.

It looks like the sandbox had not distributed the task to the cloud.

What I can do to make it fast?

Thanks.

It's VERY surprising that nothing is mentioned about paying to use the Cloud Network. I just wanted to test it out one day not realizing that they were tracking usage and charging for it. Everything I had seen had said it was all still in beta, including the money component. I was VERY surprised when I could no longer use the Cloud Network because I had accumulated charges that exceeded the max limit. There SHOULD be some kind of notification built into MT5 that alerts you to the fact it is now a "for pay" service.   It's a great feature no doubt, but how useful will it be when a couple of uses of a few thousand agents will cost you $25+ ?!?! It WOULD be nice if they let someone know of these costs. That way, certain agents could be disabled (e.g. European users enable the European agents and disable the rest of the world).  Or, provide an option to use only those agents that are being shared for free.

How about that MQL5 Cloud Network launched ?

Can you please tell me if it is possible to perform non-trading calculations in our cloud, at least theoretically?
 
Yes, you can. There is a mathematical method of optimisation just for that, including delivering results via frames.
 
if you can be more detailed, very interested in this possibility))))) i.e. I can send a task to the cloud and get a solution? let's say video decoding and so on is possible? if yes, send where to read)))))))
 
Decode video - no, because it is unreasonable because of the volume, but computational tasks with raw data - easily.

Would it be possible to use video card processors as test agents?
 
sigma7i:
Say, will it be possible to use, video card processors as testing agents?

To answer my own question. Calculations on GPU gives a good advantage when you need to do multiple simple calculations, for example, calculate the number of pi by making 1 000 000 interactions.

But for testing agents it is not suitable for these tasks you need CPU, and GPU in support.
