Compute time & limits

Everything that computes on StrategyTune's cloud — strategy backtests, signal and filter runs, manual-session statistics — draws from one daily budget of compute time: 10 minutes a day on Free, 24 hours on Pro (any active paid plan gets the same limits). The budget is per UTC day and resets at 00:00 UTC.

The daily compute time meter

The meter sits at the bottom of the Automated tab of the Sessions panel — the full usage picture is on Compute usage.

Backtests consume compute time (failed runs count; cancelled ones don't), as do signal and filter runs and manual-session equity & drawdown calculations. Time waiting in the queue and script compiles never count — the full detail is on Compute usage.

Trade actions

Trade actions are order operations — placing, modifying, and cancelling orders, executions, stop-loss and take-profit updates. Each run allows 1,000 on Free and 5,000 on Pro. A run that reaches the cap stops early and keeps everything computed up to that point: a partial result, not a failure. Plan pricing and what else each plan includes live on the Plans page.

When you hit a limit

• More runs than your parallel limit — 2 at a time on Free, 5 on Pro; the extra runs wait in the queue with their position on the card.
• Daily compute time used up — the meter shows "Quota reached" and new runs can't start until the 00:00 UTC reset. Runs already computing finish normally, and script saves keep working.
• Range longer than the Free limit — Free runs cover up to 6 months; Pro has no fixed range cap. A longer range isn't accepted: the message tells you the range you asked for and the maximum, so you can shorten it or upgrade to lift the cap.
• Range outside the instrument's data — a range entirely outside the recorded data is rejected; a range that's only partly covered is clamped to the covered part.

Current limitations

A few things a run can't do today, on any plan:

• One instrument and one timeframe per run. A strategy trades a single symbol on a single interval; multi-symbol or multi-timeframe runs are not currently supported.
• No commission or slippage model — see Run reports and Data quality.
• Results are in the instrument's quote currency. There is no conversion to an account currency.
