Can you optimize this backtest (speed comparison)

  Amazing !!!! @Paul, I don’t no how it can be possible to be so fast …It takes 3m35 minutes with you and more than 1 hour with me with the same code…

  @Grahal, use the MTF to try as the No-MTF is faster

  Thanks Guys

  PC Windows 10 64 bit 8GB RAM

  I did what I suggested you do … I closed and logged back in and then did the optimise as a first task.

  Also might I ask … how many Systems do you have listed in the backtest window and for that matter in the AutoTrading Window??

  Haha … yeah my test was on my Real Live System.

  I thought it was quick! 🙂

  I’ll try later on my Demo System.

  What do you mean in the backtest window ? In autotrading I have quite 20-25 systems “my incubation systems”

  Wich connexion do you have ?

  Are you blank or what? 🙂 … see attached.

  Also how many non running Systems do you have in the Auto-Trading window?

  I’m not on fibre if that is what you mean?

  I  am on BT broadband copper from the cabinet in the road as we call it! 🙂

  LOL @Grahal

  In the backtest window, I don’t know probbaly hundreds systems, and 20-25 non running systems in the auto-trading window

  But not sure it influence the time of optimization ?

  Today, it’s strange, I use the MTF code on 2 computers, with 2 different connexion ( 5Mb/s and 100 Mb/s).

  And I have the same results 50 % in 7 minutes …

  Would it mean it doesn’t depend on the speed of the connexion ?

  Very very strange…

  My experience gives me the impression it does.

  If you were to look back on the Forums then you will see I have had more than my fair share of weird Issues and freezing and well everything you can think of … I’ve had it!

  I got my Systems listed on the backtest window down to zero /  < 6 or so and also zero non running Systems in the Auto-trade window and PRT Issues are now next to nothing!

  You will not believe it until you try it!!!  You have nothing to lose and speed to gain!! 🙂

  Seems logical as all the processing is happening on the PRT Servers.

  The connection only has to pass the results to our PC’s.

  New test : I delete ALL Non running auto-trading systems: Cnclusion : No change 7 minutes to to 50 % of optimisation with the TMF version

  I continue my investigations

  Nex and good test : I use the same MTF code but test on an new ig live account (there nothing inside, no backtest, no indicators nothing) on 10.3

  And it take only 1 minutes 50 to do 50 % ! Cf picture

  So it’s really a “problem” with the PRT plateform. Probably more auto-trading systems and others we have (and mine are heavy) more slow it is…

  Logical we can say…

  Did you also delete all Systems showing in the backtesting window as attached?
