After upgrading to Ver. 2.8.4 I loaded a saved project. The pre-load operation took 506 seconds, over 8 minutes. The project is a small one, with a single currency pair and only three charts.

Is there something that I need to clean up after upgrading? Please advise.

Thanks,
SR

Hello,

Thank you for posting your project and sorry for the delay in reply.

On you charts you have data starting form 2001.
Also you have a lot of indicators applied to the chart, many of these indicators are MA with 200 period. Each of indicators takes some time to be calculated and that's why it takes a while to load the project.

Please do the following to speed up testing:

1) remove all indicators instances that you do not need at the current moment. For example you may have 2 instances of one indicator on 2 timeframes of one chart, each of these instances will be calculated separately so it is recommended to remove all instances that you do not need at the current moment
2) Try to start a new test from some date and uncheck “Preload days” checkbox in "Start test" options
3) then save it as a new project
