The most detailed explanation I've come across is a little outdated now, so may no longer be relevant: In more recent terms, it would seem that backtesting is still single core:

Dell XPS13 - any other PC recommendations

Hello George. Take a look at ovo's work. He offers a free trial, but ultimately you will need to pay for his software if you like it. Personally, I have no problems running multiple offline charts with his software.

Dell XPS13 - any other PC recommendations

Happy to be corrected if I've missed a later update: since Build 427, the 2GB memory limit on MT4 was upped to 3GB (32-bit) and 4GB (64-bit). You can compare TerminalInfoInteger(TERMINAL_MEMORY_TOTAL) to TerminalInfoInteger(TERMINAL_MEMORY_PHYSICAL) ...

It is awful when that happens, but remember you called the set up right. Plus it is definitely better to take some pips rather than none

Well, still in by the skin of the trade's teeth. If the bears can get their act together, the 1.09 level is looking nicely confluent with an overextension 1.27AB=CD... pretty much bang in line with Mack's assessment

I can't answer your question, but out of interest are you using Wine? I recall another unhappy Wine-on-Mac user recently complaining of excessive data usage (different problem, I know). Maybe all is not well with Wine for Mac?

Metatrader on a Mac eats my battery!

I don't actually. The reason being this: every broker has a different feed. What may be 100 ticks from Broker A was only 75 ticks from Broker B and was 125 ticks from Broker C. I use an MT4 tool that dynamically adjusts the tick count based on ...

I really do recommend at least trying tick charts. For me, it gives a totally different viewpoint on the same data. Regarding the SL, how are you deciding where to place it? One of the reasons I started to monitor 2 pairs was because I am aware of ...

MADdash (Moving Average Distance)

Hello George, you need to get MADdash to redraw itself after you've changed the foreground color. Restart MT4, or view MADdash's properties should do it. Note: if the setting is false from the very first time you apply it, you won't have this issue ...

MADdash (Moving Average Distance)

I can create a trial version. The problem is, if these third party indicators are badly coded or have a heavy workload the performance hit on MADdash would be hideous. 28 pairs over 7 timeframes = 196 instances of the third party indicators running ...

Well, price is running out of space. It's going to have to make a decision soon. Signs are pointing for a break south... let's hope there is enough pressure with London off home

I've never been able to trade this method very well on time charts, it's just some personal mental block I think So my trades are taken from tick charts. It does have some issues for hindsight trading - the indicator tend to "redraw" certain ...

Hi Mack, thanks for posting. I see there is also a nice AB=CD coinciding with the 38 fib. The bullish correction is certainly lacklustre. If price can hold below Weekly S1, you might have a nice run down at least to test that structure formed at the ...

Short on GBPUSD... a larger scale than normal. The setup: AB=CD completing in a golden zone with a mid RN as backup. Although the large scale of the setup would normally require a large amount of breathing room, I would consider a categoric failure ...
