Portfolio Backtester commision and slippage
I am using TS 8.6 now to get data for Portfolio Backtester, which has become much slower than MC 5.5 which I used previously. When running a backtest on 50 symbols over 1 year of minute data, my virtual memory used quickly climbs to 1.7 million Kb. Previously I have been able to run such backtests. Has anyone else had such issue using TS for data and trying to run backtests?

Re: Data Issues with TS
Also when optimizing, a 960 test optimization estimated 8 hours for completion, previously this same test required 2-6 minutes to complete on MC 5.5. I have 2GB of RAM and a fast processor. I dont understand why the newest version of MC runs so much slower.

Re: Data Issues with TS
I have the same problem, and also this happened.
I built a portfolio of 8 futures and tested it from 2005 to 11_02_2010

Re: Data Issues with TS
I show this to Anastassia.
Another point is that the field of commission in portfolio is always zero.
Why there isn't the way to insert value of
commission and slippage?
The result of calculation without commission and slippage is no good.

In Portfolio Backtester you can set commision and slippage in (right click on the strategy) --> Show Properties --> Properties.
