I would like to join into the request. I am optimizing strategy parameters via python script and every backtest on 2 months data takes about 5 seconds. Thus, with some 100k points to test at least, it takes unreasonably long time. Any multithreading alternative would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Not relevant to the feature request, but if you use something like gekkoga to optimise your parameters you can run tests in parallel. Set as may parallel tests as you have cores

It is not that relevant, you are correct. I did not know about gekkoga, so I wrote my own python script that optimizes parameters by parallelizing hte backtesting onto the given number of cores. However, this still takes quite some time if you want a few million datapoints
