This study takes 3 minutes 20 seconds in SC 2700 / 2712. The fastest ever seen duration was 3 minutes 9 seconds. The duration fluctuated between 3 minutes 9 seconds and 3 minutes 40 seconds. Most often near 3 minutes 20 seconds. Til SC 2700 I used a Chart Update Interval of 250 ms. In 2712/2714 I played around with different CUI. In 2714 I got best experience with CUI 550ms but was far away from 3 minutes 20 seconds. In 2712 I use a CUI of 100 ms and get a duration of 3 minutes 20 seconds.

Backtesting speed is: 100000

The GOOD
========================================================================

Since SC 2716:

Backtesting times:

Start    End    Duration  Chart Update Interval
06:19:23  06:23:02  3:39    250 ms
06:25:50  06:30:04  4:14    100 ms
06:31:15  06:34:56  3:41    500 ms

06:52:37  06:55:33  2:56    550 ms
06:57:04  06:59:59  2:55    550 ms
07:04:28  07:07:21  2:53    550 ms
07:08:56  07:11:50  2:54    550 ms
07:13:25  07:16:17  2:52    550 ms
07:17:16  07:20:10  2:54    550 ms

This is the first version giving me such fast backtesting times. Around 2 minutes 53 seconds.
This is the first version showing constantly almost the same backtesting times. 4 seconds difference from fastest to slowest backtesting over multiple runs.

The BAD
=======

Like in version 2711 there is no output in the T&S, TAL and Trade Orders Window while backtesting.
SC also doesn’t accept any input till the end of the backtest. At the and of the backtest the TAL Statistics and TAL Trades get populated. Its just the same like in 2711 which got solved really fast in 2712.

Due to the missing interaction capabilities in 2716 I will stay with 2712 although the backtesting speed and more stable duration times in 2716 is GREAT.

Kind Regards
