Usually if you choose data model: 1 minute OHLC, Delay mode: Zezo then Backtest test results will be much faster.

Or if you choose simple test mode, or drag to hide all the displayed graph, the test results will be faster


In case if both brokers choose the Data Model, Timeframe, Currency Pair,.. And the parameters set in the Input section of the EA are the same, but the test speed is different, there is a difference. May be caused by:

Different designed dahlia tick data will usually be related

  1. Account type is Standard, pro, raw (zezo)

  2. Differences in slippage, transaction fees,...

  3. Data download speed from 2 brokers

Hope this helps you

 
  1. Single backtest or optimization?
  2. Run the profiler: Debug => Profiling with hist. Data let it run for some time and you''ll see where your EA loses time.
  3. Does it uses graphical objects or Comment (both consumes time)?

This is a technical forum, you need to post technical information.

Please post the logs of both tests.
