different strategy tester results with same EA, same parameters, same time frame on same computer??
Maybe
Every tick mode means that, the tick data is simulated by a math model of MT, and will not repeat totally.
and the result also related with how your EA to work.
if you want check it, you should check and compare each position (time, price and lots) betweent them, then to judge what is the resons.
Hi all,
I have 2 instances of MT4. I wrote a basic EA and tested it on 2 instances of MT4 with same parameters, time frame, etc. Both instances are from the same setup file which is InterbankFX version of MT4.
I ran the test on M30 and one instance always execute trade one bar before the other one (i.e. if one MT4 executes on 5:30 and the other does it on 6:00, etc), also the prices are not the same.
Anyone knows why or know of good articles out there talking about this?
Thanks!
