I don't see how you can say there is nothing wrong with bar based back testing when it gives results that are so completely different from the accurate results given from replay back testing. Be that as it may, I understand I will have to use the replay back test if I want results with some degree of reliability. I also understand it will be time consuming, but I have a problem with it taking 2 or 3 times longer with your new spreadsheets compared to the old. You basically forced conversion to the new spreadsheets; you shouldn't have done this until performance issues were better or at least comparable to the old spreadsheets. As someone with 20 years of IT systems design and development experience, I'd like to point out that during back testing the total cpu utilization rarely goes above 30% and memory utilization stays below 50%. I have a solid state hard drive and plenty of memory, so if I were trying to address the back testing performance issues I would start by fixing whatever is preventing your software from using the resources that are available.
