Post From: Back Testing Performance Issue

Considering you need to back test using a spreadsheet study and based upon the data and formulas in the Sheet, you really need to use a bar based back test for the best performance. Your Spreadsheet is using a lot of CPU time. We are going to look at this, but this is going to take us time, we cannot give an estimate, and we cannot assure we can make any further performance improvements. We thought we could look into this more quickly but being that this fits into the category of general performance improvements for spreadsheets, and is nothing new, it will take time.

If you update to the very latest prerelease now you will be able to have a chance every few seconds to stop the replay. So the program will no longer be in a continuous frozen state. We did resolve that.

My download historical Intraday data is IN 1 Second units.
This is fine.
