How to Empty the Report Parser

Introduction

The Report Parser in MTP is where you can view your backtest results, including pass rates, average days, and more detailed statistics for each strategy you test. Over time, the Report Parser can accumulate data, potentially slowing down your VPS due to increased memory usage. This guide will show you how to empty your Report Parser to keep your system running smoothly.

• Double-click on any strategy folder to open it.
• Click on the Results file to view detailed statistics, such as trade types, dates, and settings used during the backtest.
• Each result file offers an in-depth view of individual trades, which can be helpful for analyzing the performance of your strategies.
3. Delete the Results Files
