Thanks to @ cory again!
I found the brakes, it was the way I wrote output to the cells:

instead of this method:

 
Code
Range("$N$2").Offset(iTerations - 1, 0).Value = myval
I now use this:

 
Code
Range(.Cells(2, 14), .Cells(10000 + 1, 14)) = myvariant
and now it's a f*****g race horse.
500 iterations with 1000 trades each take about 10 seconds on my machine.

You can chose now how many iterations of how many trades you want to run.
You can also chose to perform the simulation with fixed position sizing or with fixed fractional position sizing (money management).




Attached is the beta to play around with (@ madLyfe hint, hint ) (Excel 2007 & up only).

As soon as we have some confidence and the glitches are out, I am happy to call it a final....

OK, the compile error is easily fixed, but the link.... I hate links!
Have you got any idea of where the link is and where it points to?

lol, quite true, doesn't work that well when I type the same way I think!!!! Sorry, lol!

Don't delete anything, I have attached a new version, should have killed the links and the compile error.
