I'm backtesting a strategy against a few instruments and against the ES it is stalling. It appears that the RAM is fully loaded to 98% then it just stalls. The CPU drops down to below 10%, but RAM stays at 95-98 continuously. I left it run for 15hrs and no progress.
The amount of data is not huge 64mb of tick data some minute data as well. I have it working on instruments with half as much tick data (minutes is obviously the same). The time to complete for them is an hour so 15 is excessive.
Doing it on a day works, but does take considerably longer than the others.
Does NT7 try to load all the data before it starts testing? Is it known it will stall at this point? (in other words any point in leaving it run for 2 days?
Cheers
