Loaded question. Short answer is - we have a free 30-day trial you can explore and I offer 1on1s at no additional cost to get started.

Longer answer is: it depends on the hardware you are running and the structure of your automation. If you are on a laptop with "mobile" CPU - anything you do is going to be slow. Decent workstation with higher frequency CPU will chew through even poorly designed requests fairly quickly.

Octopi Trader takes advantage of Sierra Charts replays, so it also depends on what type of replay you do. ATBB (bar based, with 4-points per bar sampled) runs through hourly data for 8 years in less than 20 seconds, while Accurate System Back Testing replay (tick kind) can run for hours on the same data set.

How are you trading? Is tick accuracy important? Are decisions made at close of bar or intrabar?

Hope this helps
