Post From: backtesting slowing down

There is definitely nothing in Sierra Chart that would cause back testing to slow down over time after running multiple back tests. That makes no technical sense.

However, do you notice the memory use increase? Refer to help topic 30.28 here for more information about this:

What type of back testing are you doing. A replay back test or a bar base back test? In the case of a replay back test, if you have tick by tick data in the data file, this will make the back test slower.
