Why won't Spotware answer any post related to slow performance and memory bleeding?

Hi lec0456,

Can we have a more detailed description of what you are doing and why you think there is a problem when testing? It will help us determine if there is a problem or not.

ok, first and foremost, the CPU usage will not go above 40% when running a backtest.  Something is bottlenecking cpu usage. So, the first question is when you backtest does your CPU usage ever reach 100%.  

I have tested my processor with the intel diagnosic utility and it reaches 100% and passes the test.  I called intel they say its something with the code of cAlgo.

Backtesting on Accurate mode is very slow. It takes AGES to fine-tune my bots. I've been working on my bots for almost a year now and still didn;t launch any of them to a full-scale extent. It's a bit disapointing to be honest. Most of the time is wasted waiting for backtesting to finish.
