Hi Jay,

If you can share the cBot code and backtesting settings, we can have a look at it.

Best regards,

Hi jaydcrowe1989,

I had exactly the same issue, i let it run the whole night and in the morning i had my trade statistics...so it takes ages but in the end you get what you need.

(I was backtesting on 3 years)

I logged a ticket on the cTrader help portal but no answer so far after 3 days...

Cheers

Hi,

Has anyone come across the issue where CTrader hangs and freezes for quite a while once a back test has completed? I am back testing a bot over the previous year?

Cheers,

Jay

Yeah no matter how long I run the back test for CTrader just freezes at the end of the back test and hangs for around 5 minutes. I can literally run the back test for one day and still the whole desktop app just freezes. Its as if it is not letting go of something? It never use to do this and I have created many different bots in CTrader

I have just worked out what was causing my issue! I was using the Print method quite a lot to print information to the log. I have taken these out and it no longer hangs at the end of a back test.
