Downloading Asset History via MT4 extremly slow

Downloading Asset History via MT4 extremly slow - 02/06/17 17:08

When starting my strategy on my live account Zorro downloads the price history. Now this is going extremly slow it takes over two minutes per asset and Zorro seems to just pause between assets.

What are the reasons why this might be so slow? Is this to be expected? Can this be improved?
Last time I tried I can remember it was better.

And this seems not to be only with MT4 but also with the normal FXCM Plugin?

For some reason also the Equity in the Zorro window does not correspont the Equity shown in the connected MT4 Terminal and the server text box does not contain any server time even though the server connected green box is there?

I figured out the problem and it seems to be yet another bug in Zorro.

I added the line

Code:
brokerCommand(SET_COMMENT, Algo);



to my script that was trading with MT4, that caused the Zorro to freeze up while downloading the price history and not show any server time any more. And in the log windows it was just printing dots .....

It also caused my other two running Zorros to not respond any more.

When I removed the above line from the script everything worked well like before!!!
