This may have been posted before but this looks way cool. Can you imagine using other peoples processing power over the internet like the SETI Project. This new feature could make things really happen if the right programmers and enough people get on board. Can you imagine the Genetic Algorithm that could be made using 10,000 + internet users processing power. I got the following from their blog.

MetaQuotes is about to release the MetaTrader 5 trading strategy tester ( MetaTester 5 ). One of the big improvements of the new tester is the possibility to create individual calculation frameworks ( agents ) to increase the speed of trading strategies optimization / calculation. On the local computer, each agent represent 1 logical processor core, so for example if you have a quad-core cpu, you can have 4 agents running. The agents can be also installed on remote computers in your local network or other Internet-connected computers around the world. This means that you can create a distributed computing (grid computing) project with as much cpu power as you want. This concept is similar to the popular SETI@home or Folding@Home projects.
