I know calling external indicators will slow it down, but what if the EA is not calling on external indicators what are the other causes?
if you follow the flock like sheep you always end up stepping in shit!

Try to comment some part of the program,
and find where is the most slow code.

Во-первых, количество расчетов, которые совершает EA.
Во-вторых, замедление работы EA может быть связано с самим терминалом. В окне 'Обзор рынка' нужно оставлять только те символы, на которых торгуешь, а остальные убирать

Если есть код, то время работы лучше посмотреть в MetaEditor - Отладка - Начать профилирование.

The more functions that are called outside the EA, the more time the EA will take to test. More internal variables in place of calling the same function such as getting the OrderOpenPrice() or another value multiple times will greatly speed up the EA.
