I have somehow gotten to this weird situation that I cannot run any backtests. I had v2.33 installed and it happened, seemingly out of no where. I have downloaded and unzipped v2.33.5b and the same thing is happening.

With the new version I did not alter any files from the zip. I can run for instance scripts like CalculatePI. But any time asset data is used it slows to a crawl. Also the log mentions loading ticks, I have always used t6 data and never seen these messages before.

Running the default IndicatorTest I get...

IndicatorTest compiling......
Lookback set to 101 bars
EUR/USD 56740 ticks read
210 Bars 2019-01-02..2019-01-15 generated

Then zorro is unresponsive. It takes 3-4 minutes to get the above.

I have set Verbose=31 in the script. Here is the output. Any suggestions on what might be going on?

FYI,
I am running 4 other instances of another version of Zorro on the same PC. They are running live now, no issues currently. They are v2.25.

PS
Just tried running a script with the v2.25 build. It is doing the same thing! This is running out of the same exe/folder as the Zorro version running the 4 live sessions.

Dang I think I may have this figured out. I have had issues running the 4 live sessions on a single Oanda account. To fix this I set TickTime = 3000 in a couple of live scripts. It seemed to work.... Until I tried running a backtest on another instance.

I shut down the live sessions and it fixed my issues backtesting on another zorro instance. I believe the "ticks read" anomaly was due to the Verbose setting. It is not normally printed on lower Verbose settings.

I think the proper thing to do here instead of using TickTime is to use MaxRequests. I ran GET_MAXREQESTS and it is returning 45 for Oanda. So I set MaxRequests in the 4 live sessions to 10.

I am curious though how TickTime changed the behavior of another Zorro instance, let alone another version of Zorro altogether. I guess they are all somehow in communication with eachother.

I would love to run 6 instances, 4 on Oanda, 2 on IB. Still trying to wrap my head on how they might all function working together. I have done it in the past but I always end up having unresponsive zorro instances after a week or so.
