I have Norgate EOD data - daily charts and have 2 strategies and like to backtest in Portfolio trader
1) how do I run backtest on entire universe of stocks or just Nasdaq
if I add all the instruments, will it hung saying it is a long list?
2) with so many symbols, do i have to do symbol settings or symbol mapping? I have never used Norgate before. I use Barchart for real time data
thanks and appreciate

Hello DTorSwing,
Symbol mapping is not required for backtesting. It is required only for auto or manual trading with a broker.
There should be no performance issues with backtesting EOD data.

what would be perf issue if I load intraday charts like 15min or 60min
i see daily charts are easy to load

There is no MultiCharts limitation for the amount of charts you can have open/auto trading.
You can have as many charts as your hardware allows. This value is individual and depends on the amount and complexity of the indicators/strategies you are using, amount of auto trading charts, amount of bars on the chart, whether you are running Playback or backtesting or optimization or not. So the only way to know that is to set it up and check the memory/CPU usage of your PC.
