Performance issue
Posted: Sun Feb 26, 2023 5:54 pm
Hi,
When I'm manually backtesting, NM starts to become sluggish after a while (after many hundreds of bars on screen). Stepping forward a single bar sometimes takes a few seconds, and the program becomes sluggish as well. I looked at the Windows Task Manager and saw that NM was using a lot of CPU. Right clicking on the chart to open up the menu takes some time too.
I tested this by creating a new backtest from scratch and using the same parity and same start date and same chart template - everything is back to normal.
It looks like having too many bars tanks NM's performance.
I'm attaching my backtest file, so you can look at it: Thanks.
