If you were to use ACSIL instead of Spreadsheets you will improve performance. Refer to:
Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study

And we did say we are working on improving Spreadsheet performance, to the extent we can. Two of our programmers are working on this full-time right now. To what extent we can do this, still remains to be seen.


The point we were trying to make, there is not something wrong with bar based back testing in regards to how it works according to the documentation. Now whether it is accurate or not, you have to make that judgment. But what you can conclude is that obviously if you want accurate results it is going to be time-consuming. There is not any other way to do this. If you still get poor performance even with ACSIL, then you just have to realize that accurate results is time-consuming.
