I am trying to run intraday backtests using 1 minute bars on a single symbol, SPY. I have data back to 2003. When I set the intraday timeframe to 5 minute bars and try to backtest more than 5 years, AB either hangs or crashes. Have others successfully backtested larger time periods using 1 minute bars as the base data?
Maybe it is my machine configuration? I am running Win 7 with 3GB of RAM and AB 5.20. Any suggestions on what to do? Thank you, Cey
