ProBacktest extremely slow

  I don’t use shortcuts, but use the mouse in the menu. This works always for me. I just didn’t do it before the new optimisation.

  Anyway, there’s a limit on optimisations. But what if you have i.e. 4 optimisations at the same time, all below the limit but together above the limit. Could be a reason for a crash if that limit is exceeded?

  @Paul why do you think the platform closed because of a crash? It closed itself after 12 hours automatically, so I  think that’s what it happened for you.

  Update:

  For me it seems to start slowing / hanging after about 7 backtests, but I guess this depends on the number of combos of variables in the backtest.

  I didn’t know that and I can’t excluded that scenario either because got no idea how long it had been open. It means it’s better to restart the platform before doing a long backtest.

  The limit question I asked wasn’t the reason in my case. I just wonderd about it.

  Is it 12 hours now? I thought it used to be 18?

  Il semble que ProBacktest soit lent uniquement chez IG. Par conséquent, est-il possible d’ouvrir un compte démo gratuitement, ailleurs que chez IG, pour effectuer nos tests? (Ailleurs que directement chez ProRealtime. Le compte de démonstration est quotidien)
