How to build an external module that could backtest on parallel PCs

[nikolaalx]

Hi,
I am interested to build a module that could use MPI or other technology to distribute the backtest load to parallel slave PCs. The remote computers will work on the iterations and once done, will return to the master pc the results for it to put it in one piece.

Is there a way to connect to the market analyzer in such a way? There seems to be no information on how one can do that?


Is there any documentation that could aid me in such a process?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello nikolaalx,

Thank you for your post.

This would be unsupported and therefore we would not have any documentation on this.

It's a great idea though! Please tell me that backtesting / replay has been enhanced for multithreading in NT8?

Hello happypappy,

Correct, playback and backtesting have been improved in NinjaTrader 8. You can view more information at the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/downloads...njaTrader8.pdf
