This depends on bar size and your CPU & harddrive, but generally: Backtesting ~4 years of data on hourly chart takes me about 30 seconds using Bar Based replay and about 2 hours using tick-data replay. Your strategy must not use anything that might give forward bias or have really tight stoploss or targets when using bar-based, but it works really quick and well for rule-based entry/exit systems. I always start with bar-based once I am certain the logic works and then verify it once using tick-by-tick replay. You've picked a GREAT platform for what you are doing. Sierra will reliably return the result you are looking for. |
