I can easily run the jforex platform. When I run visual jforex it's a little choppy. I downloaded a tutorial that came with a free strategy. When I try to test it on historical data, like in the tutorial (5m timeframe over last year) it doesn't seem to do anything. Then when I close the program I see the tester eventually opens. And it looks A LOT slower then the 30 to 45 secs it takes in the tutorial. I did the math at the rate it was testing and it would take like 3 months to finish!

What are the system requirements to properly run visual jforex? I want to upgrade my system but don't want to spend more than I need to.

Your help is appreciated.

Hi,

It looks like there is a problem but I need more information to check that. Generally speaking you should be able to run smoothly your test using decent computer (4 Go of Ram is sufficient / 5 years old CPU is okay). We had a major issue last Friday that impacted the historical tester so I'm sure that you'll have a different result if you try with today's release (1.6.64 / Strategy processor 1.6.34). You have also the choice to export your strategy in Java to Jforex and test it there. More information in the User Guide (available in "Help" menu)
If you have any question please attach the strategy in vfs format (File > export ) and feel free to ask.

Cheers !
