You can change speed of testing with a trackbar on the toolbar and set bigger time step (for example 1 hour) - it will increase the speed.

Even with the settings Mike suggests, it still seems to me it could run faster if desired. I suggest a mode where the graphic updates are suspended... the chart and other graphics would be frozen while the program calculates all the trades, then displays the results when it's done.
This would surely increase the speed of testing a strategy, and it would be especially useful when running the strategy optimizer. It is a monstrous waste of computer resources to have the main program churning through all the graphic updates to while servicing the needs of the optimizer. Surely noone really wants or needs to watch the charts and trades streaming by while they're doing an optimization run...

In version 2 of ForexTester I will significantly increase the speed of processing. At this moment it is problem not in screen updating but mostly in slow core processing.
