Hi,

I am backtesting (Auto Trade System Replay Backtest (accurate option)) 750 symbols through a spreadsheet for trading study. The back test is taking one hour for each day it moves through. I have only 4 rows of information showing in the sheets, but nevertheless at this rate, the back test will take 90 hours to get through a 90 day historical period.

Can I purchase some time to have someone take a look at this to see if there is a way this can be done more efficiently and quickly? I am going to have other questions like this in the future and I am happy to purchase some support time so I can have these kinds questions answered specifically based on how my system is set up.

Thank you

I understand. I have a few other questions which would be helpful for me to discuss with someone over the phone.

Can I purchase phone support time and schedule a time with someone to discuss these other things?
