Akcin, there are many other people who encounter the same problem with SC backtest
I know ... but the debate is academic when they do not use Sierra studies but their own (often users studies = high memory and processor load due to bad code). It isn't an objective assessment.so yes, there is a space for improvemet. this is just a fact.
no.. what you want is a completely different tool, you want a tickbytick tester for long-term testsone of them is a pro developer who was troubled so much with that, that at the of the day was forced to built his own becktester that improved the speed more than 100x times with absolutelly correct results even for fastest timeframes and tickbytick data.
I also know one - me :) I have own tester which test data (one year) on a 1trade chart in 15-25 minutes (YM,NQ,CL) verified by a group of 20 traders - also in live, my ATS contains 30 IDs studies, but it's a very specific tool and doesn't work on big timeframes (I didn't need it for big TF, it could be reprogrammed). And I'm not alone, I know about more developers, what they were crying for orderflow tests with Sierra backtester, but we made ours and we are satisfied. It doesn't change on this that I wrote "(BT / replay does exactly what's written in the documentation)" for what you want it was not created dont get me wrong - i like sc a lot. it is the best platform i have ever used.
ok, we agree on this ;)
