Thanks for converting the spreadsheets. I started working with one of the new ones and the first thing I did was run a backtest to compare with results from the old version. I have 2 copies of Sierracharts on my computer, one with an old release that supports the old spreadsheets (1307)and one with a recent release (1510)for the new spreadsheets. I followed your documentation for installing multiple copies and copied all the files that were listed there. So I set up a backtest with 1 month worth of data and ran the Auto Trade System Replay Backtest with nothing else running on my system. I ran each test separately. The good news is the test results were the same for the old and the new spreadsheet. The bad news is the old test took less than 2 minutes but the new test took more than 6 minutes. The time difference was so large that I made sure nothing was running in the background and reran the new spreadsheet test 2 more times but the results were the same. I'm sure this cannot be normal. Actually I was hoping the backtest time would be faster with the new spreadsheets but at least the same. Anything I can try to fix this problem? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-02-02 04:16:24
