Automation Sequence Manager (BTSeqMgr) Speedup (Professional Software Solutions) |
BTSeqMgr configuration settings were designed to work
with any computer,
so we had to choose the safest and slowest parameters.
Below is a list of configuration parameter which affect the speed of each
backtest run.
You can reduce any/all of these parameters to achieve a faster but still save
backtesting performance:
| Name | Min | Max | Default | Description |
| ChartWaitForLoad | 0 | unlimited | 5 | Wait period to re-check if the optimization has completed (Seconds) |
| ChartLoadConfirm | 0 | unlimited | 3 | Number of confirmations that a chart has loaded completely before the Strategy Parameters are applied |
| WaitStartOpt | 0 | unlimited | 10 | One time wait to wait for optimization to start (Seconds) |
| WaitForOpt | 0 | unlimited | 5 | Wait period to re-check if the optimization has completed (Seconds) |
| OptConfirms | 0 | unlimited | 2 | Number of confirmations to make sure the optimization has ended |
After the optimization has completed BTSeqMgr gives
you the option to save various backtesting results data.
The configuration parameter "SaveOptMode" defines which data is to
be saved:
| SaveOptMode | Description |
| 0 | 0=Save All: Performance(MHT + XLS) + Optimization(CSV) |
| 1 | Performance File (MHT) only - needed for summary |
| 2 | Performance Excel File (XLS) only |
| 3 | Optimization Report (CSV) only |
| 4 | Disable all saving (fastest) |
