I have used OT throughout 2007. I generally have 2 strategies active. When I ran against my focus list before updating to 4u, it took about 2 hours to complete the list. It now has not completed in 10 hours. The screen looks normal, but the GUI seems to be real slow. Even page-dn'ing from symbol to symbol takes a HUGE amount of time. Any ideas?

Paul, can you try a new Profile(File/New) & see if it has the same behavior? Or perhaps there is another process running on your machine that is slowing things down? You could try rebooting your machine also to see if that helps.

No improvement with a new profile. When OTruns through the stocks, it pauses for a long time on "Analyzing Daily", then very quickly evaluates the 2 active strategies, then pauses again with the status bar blank before moving onto the next stock.

Which 2 strategies are you using? Are you getting signals on both of them? In your ToDo List/Test Settings tab what do you have your backtest & forward test set to?

They are both custom and both generating signals. They are enclosed.

In that Turnaround strategy you have 3 filter blocks filtering an to the SubGroup, Group, & Sector. These 3 blocks are causing the slowdown when referencing the SubGroup, Group, & Sector. I tested it in OT2008 & it functioned quickly, so it's definitely a bug in OT2007 slowing down analysis when filtering based on the SubGroup, Group, & Sector.

Actually, I don't think that my strategy is the problem. If I disable all strategies and use your Swing chart template, it is still slow...
