The backtesting mode is very demanding on memory, as it keeps the entire history of prices, indicators, trades, and P&L. This is so that the chart can be displayed after the back test. The quick way to reduce the demand on memory is to specify a lower resolution in the "bar size" parameter in the backtesting dialog. Try to set it to 5 minutes or even 30 minutes. Note that the results of the back test will be exactly the same, no matter what bar size you set.
Having said that, the back tester is designed to release the memory when a new back test starts, so it should be as fast on the first run as it is on the subsequent runs. If this is not so, there must be a memory leak somewhere. I'll take a look. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JBookTrader" group.
