Playback speeds

[pjsmith]

Hi,

This is more of a curiosity thing since I hit modest limits quite easily myself.

What, if anything, restricts playback speed (if set to max)? Is it purely hardware/NT8 architecture? I was just interested in watching playbacks at rapid speed, but with my normal workspace, it's not really that fast (not slow, just still would still take me a few hours to watch a day, probably). Obviously, I have more than just naked bars on there, and I'm guessing this is all part of the limiting factor. Any tweaks for playback performance other than shutting charts down (I already run SSD's, pretty powerful PC, etc.) that anyone cares to share?

Thanks.

Hello pjsmith,

Thank you for your post.

The MAX speed for Playback is the maximum speed that Playback will run. This will send information as fast as the charts are able to handle it.

If you would like to improve the performance speed of Playback, you would need to close any additional Workspaces that are open, close any charts that are not needed, remove any unused indicators on the chart, and run indicators/strategies 'On Bar Close' instead of 'On Each Tick' or 'On Price Change'.
