Questions about Backtesting.
02 Apr 2019, 16:42


More than 2011-2019 data would be useful however it can also be achieved by Ctrader adding Multi-Symbol Backtesting where it could backtest GBPUSD for example then move on and try backtest other symbols from beggining.

 

My code is very clean so i assume tick data isn't being read as fast it could be? setting Real-time Cpu priority did not help. so I am wondering what could be the problem. Hmmmmmm. The cpu usage is set to 100% in the program.

I know Starting up multiple Ctrader instances would solve the problem however that would not benefit my backtesting as I want to improve my strategy from the improvements that were made previously.

Perhaps the tick data is not loaded onto the ram? and is being read from the hard drive?

Could also set it to run 10 simulations on 1 thread instead of 1, Looking into if I can split my threads into smaller multiples now as max 1 thread usage i saw was about 25%
