Is every run of the optimizer unique (same settings)?

Hi! I was running the optimizer but it got interrupted (power went out and didn't have my power backup with me). Then I tried it the same test the next day, but the results were different. I thought it was worth asking to understand: Is every run of the genetic (fast) optimizer unique? And is there

Is it possible to install an EA that comes as an .exe on macOS? (MT5)

Hi, I'm using the macOS version of MT5. Hoping there's some way to install this EA while still using macOS (i.e., without having to use virtualizationi). And Bootcamp is not an option as I'm using an M2 Mac... Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks so much

Is there a category that allows product recommendations?

Hi, I'm looking for a product/system recommendation according to a specific set of needs. I figure instead of looking around by myself for hours, the community as a whole might be able to recommend some items. I'm aware this is not usually allowed - but is there a specific section where it is

Can we navigate to a specific trade in a backtest without having to scroll through the chart like a weirdo?

Hi! I want to examine specific trades my EA took on the resulting chart produced after the backtest is completed. In e.g. TradingView.com, I just have to click on the trade in the strategy tester report, and it navigates me to the location of it on the chart where the trade was placed. I can't

When running optimizer, is there a way to throttle the number of cloud agents being used so as to save money?

Could MT5 terminal be used to connect to an MT4 server/broker - and (auto)trade?

Please see subject. One of my brokers only provides MT4 but I have an EA built for MT5. Is there any way to use the MT5 terminal and connect to an MT4-only broker? This kind of "backward compatibility" wouldn't be odd for many systems, but I have no idea. If someone also knows how this is possible
