Post From: Couple of questions about backtesting

I came across this thread while searching for some info about back testing speed. I'm finding it takes about 35 minutes for 30 days of data with my spreadsheet. It is much larger than the one in the original question, with more studies and formulas and 30 rows of data. Would that be the reason for such a difference in the run times? Also, is the processor speed the critical path for backtesting? I have 12 mb of memory and a 2.7ghz processor. Also wondering if the hard disk has anything to do with the speed when doing tick by tick data back testing and if a solid state drive would make a big difference. Appreciate any input you might have on this. |
