    Backtesting Pains-How to store data locally for multiple backtestings at wire speed

    Hello All As I get more into technical Trading, I find that the Retail tools for Trading do not cover the entire user requirement. I find that back-testing & optimizing multiple scenarios in multiple ways is really not possible in these systems or is just too slow. One major problem I find...
