I don’t use shortcuts, but use the mouse in the menu. This works always for me. I just didn’t do it before the new optimisation.

Anyway, there’s a limit on optimisations. But what if you have i.e. 4 optimisations at the same time, all below the limit but together above the limit. Could be a reason for a crash if that limit is exceeded?

@Paul why do you think the platform closed because of a crash? It closed itself after 12 hours automatically, so I think that’s what it happened for you.

Update:

For me it seems to start slowing / hanging after about 7 backtests, but I guess this depends on the number of combos of variables in the backtest.

I didn’t know that and I can’t excluded that scenario either because got no idea how long it had been open. It means it’s better to restart the platform before doing a long backtest.

The limit question I asked wasn’t the reason in my case. I just wonderd about it.

Is it 12 hours now? I thought it used to be 18?

Il semble que ProBacktest soit lent uniquement chez IG. Par conséquent, est-il possible d’ouvrir un compte démo gratuitement, ailleurs que chez IG, pour effectuer nos tests? (Ailleurs que directement chez ProRealtime. Le compte de démonstration est quotidien)

It seems that ProBacktest is slow only at IG. Therefore, is it possible to open a demo account for free, other than at IG, to perform our tests? (Elsewhere than directly at ProRealtime. The demo account is daily)
