Accurate Trading System Back Test

I am using the Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode. At the moment I am replaying 3.5 months but the replay is fast at the start and very slow towards the end. If I start the replay at the beginning of the 3.5 months the rerplay is very fast but if I start it from the last week of the 3.5 months the replay is very slow.

I think that this has to do with the loaded days in the chart settings. At the monmet I have 110 days loaded.

Is there a way to have only 3 days loaded at a time but to replay 3 months or more?

You need to load the number of days for which you want to run the backtest.

In your other post, we had asked for you to look at the Task Manager when you saw the system running slower. Did you notice anything about the resource usage during the backtest?

Hi, thank you for the reply. I checked the Task Manager during replay. The CPU usage was about 20% and the RAM usage was about 300 MB. I have 32 GB RAM and my CPU is i5 9600k. I don't mind if Sierra Chart uses more CPU and RAM if this will speed up the replay. Do you have some kind of restriction set on Sierra Chart regarding the CPU and RAM that it can use?

I will note again that when I load 100 days and start the replay at day number 99 the replay is very slow. But if I start it from day number 1 it is quite fast until it gets to day 30 for example.
