I've been trying for the last couple of days to solve some problems I am encountering with the Historical Tester on jForex. Both in Windows and in OS X, jforex slows to a crawl and the platform becomes unresponsive. Clicking stop on historical tester does nothing.
If I try custom data from a specific period and run in through optimization, I cannot analyze more than 3 days, and no more than 30 possible scenarios (that being generous). Even with one scenario platform becomes unresponsive. I am using tick data.
I run it with no charts and no visualization, just historical tester window.
In OS X I can increment the Java memory heap and it seems to make it slightly more reliable, but in Windows, changing jforex.jnlp in order to increase memory heap, doesn't launch the platform (I guess is a problem with java authentication, but no ammount of google fu has given me any answer).
I've seen a thread on duka's forum on how to launch jForex on high performance mode, it includes using java's sdk, but it's an old post and I have no idea if it works or not.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
