Hi

I wonder what type of CPU type you recommend to do backtesting with ACSIL at a very high speed.
Is the CPU frequency the most important factor? GPU is of any help to improve the speed?

This CPU is the most important consideration. However, first you do need to do all you can on your side to make your trading system as fast as possible. The limitation though is that Sierra Chart is only going to use a single CPU core. So it is not taking advantage of the multiple cores of the CPU because back testing can only be done on a single core.
