Slow backtesting
-
Hello
Sometimes when I test the EA based on multiple indicators ,in mt4 tester the backtest is runs very slow
Is there any strategy tester that can test my EA faster -
You are asking for strategy tester?
Who will do that and why Unfortunately this is true. Indicators are slowing the process and also EAs generated with an EA builder are normally bulk and heavy. But you know, it also depends on the logic itself. To make things faster, try to Not run some blocks all the time if this is not necesarry. This depends on the strategy of course. For example you can put "Once per bar" somewhere where you don't really need something to work on every tick and the result will be the same if it runs once per bar.
EAs are slow on backtesting, because certain functions are running again and again, millions of times. There are many ticks to be backtested, and that's why everything is slow as a whole. But if you imagine that you only have 1 tick, then everything is ultra fast.
