Hi Folks, I'm new here, hope you are well. I wanted to ask your opinion on the best environment to back-test and model trading data for forex. My background has been MT4 and now MT5, but I am experiencing some issues trying to scale up the modelling process to gain more signals each year. The main problem is the slow processing speed versus the number of single runs I would need to capture all the data. I try to compensate by taking multiple readings in one run (with large arrays), but then the values do not always concur with the single run values, including the trade outcome for a moment, since the heavier processing lift normally effects the entry times etc.... Do you have any suggestions for how to scale these processes? data capture/ processing. Any thoughts welcome

Thanks for this tip. I was just wondering about the history data for FX, can I import the data to work with for the back-tests? What markets do you normally trade.
