Hello, I am using Bar replay to backetest my strategy (based on Bollinger Bands Range Breakout), with Replay mode - "Calculate At Every Tick/Trade". The problem I am facing is that it is taking very long time for the reply (and sometime the replay gets stuck at one place for very long time), longer than the usual. I am running the Replay on MNQ 5 mins chart, and it is taking over 10 hours to complete the replay on 18 months data which is ridiculous! I don't even need the chart replay, which could be one of the reasons of delay. I want to know if: 1. there is any way where I can do the bcaktesting without running the chart replay and just get the trade and statistics faster? 2. there is any setting or part of code I should add to make the Bar Replay faster WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE ACCURACY OF TICK BASED REPLAY? Let me know if you need to check my code will share with you if required Awaiting Response! |

You do need to be replaying the data in order to get the correct information. But if you do not care to see the actual graphics changing, then either hide the chart after you star the backtesting, or set the "Chart >> Graph Draw Type" to "Blank".
