I must say I was pleasantly surprised to be able to start more than 3 backtests (even when separated in time). Is this higher capacity intended? :)

Yes subscribers can backtest more than 3 in parallel at a time :) Fair use applies, we still share the cluster with all members.
We upgraded the backtesting servers so they are now 60% faster (12-20k/sec for basic template) - and added more to the cluster so there is more bandwidth for when there's alot of people backtesting.

What is the capacity statistic in the upper left hand corner of a running back test? Â Â In my case, it's currently $14K but I have far more equity than holdings, so I am confused what this is.
Thank you all for your help,
Craig

Hi Craig
the capacity statistic is the maximum amount of money an algorithm can trade before its performance degrades from market impact. Here is a PDF that explains it in detailÂ
Have a good dayÂ
