Tickstory

Hello Tickstory,

I exported EURUSD from 2003-2020 (11GB), but when I backtest from 2003-2020, the test stops at 2014.

I know the 4GB limitation is a likely cause, but I have never had trouble testing >4GB files in the past (got the full range specified in Strategy Tester). Tickstory version is 1.9.5.6

Hi Huangwh88,

We've seen cases where the Strategy Tester could prematurely stop if the EA consumes too many resources. Is there anything in the "Journal" tab that might tell you more about what's going on? Does the test proceed further if you're using a different ("lighter") EA such as MACD Sample? Does it make a difference if you reduce the amount of apps running/memory usage?

Thanks.

Hi Tickstory, my apologies. The backtest stopped because it ran out of equity. No issues now.

Good news, Huangwh88! Thank you for letting us know what the cause was.

Kind regards.
