    Hi Harvdog42,

    The whole advantage of using the ‘every-tick’ mode of course is that it allows you to perform tick-accurate back-tests. This is inherently slow, however one way you could speed things up is filter duplicate ticks if your strategy is not dependent on individual ticks. Hopefully some other users might be able to suggest some ways they speed things up, otherwise I would suggest you follow some of the threads in the MT4 back-testing forums.

    Hope this helps.

    OK Tickstory,

    Thanks for prompt response. One fairly obvious thing I was overlooking is to have the speed “slider” all the way forward. That increases backtesting speed substantially.

    Cheers,
