Running backtests in parallel - page 3

 
Fernando Carreiro #:

You cannot speed up individual back-tests, as they run on a single thread.

You can only speed up optimisations as the passes can be distributed over several threads, on the local machine or on a "local farm" of several computers, or the MQL5 Cloud Network.

So, yes you can use a second computer running "MetaTester" to share the load of optimisation passes.

Awesome, appreciate your response.

I mis-spoke earlier, I am looking to do optimizations, so will start to link these together, hopefully its pretty cut and dry. 

I can set up drives in RAID if need be, but if its a matter of RAM and processor, I dont see the need.

Thanks again!
