On Version 2.7.2.1/2.18.9 i am unable to test longer periods (e.g. one Instrument over one year) in the historical tester. The tester hangs during startup while loading prices. The memory usage exploded, I get connection errors and sometimes even the whole platforms does not react anymore.

The test depends on the strategy code very much. We cannot investigate it untill you provide an example. If the data download fails, check it with the Historical Data Manager. What period and timeframe do you test?

Not in this case, because the tester hangs before even starting the strategy. You can reproduce the problem with an empty strategy.
In the Historical Data Manager i can export the data, so is is no cache problem. One example test:
01-Nov-2007 -> 20-Dec-2008 AUD/CAD 1min.

I have heavy problems with Historical Tester too. Please see viewtopic.php?f=16&t=47985

We need a quick fix of this, our work halts at the moment, we cannot test strategies properly.

Dukascopy: Please send BETAs to developers and testers first, before you release new DEMO or LIVE versions!

I agree with above developers, as a customer it is unacceptable to have to test on a faulty demo. Pls provide developer with BETA so actual testing can be done on Demo version that is close to Live.
