Is there a virtual market for debugging?

 

Hello,

I am having VERY hard times debugging my EAs since i have to wait for market to satisfy certain conditions (which is the trading strategy conditions) to be able to see if the code it working and debug it!

is there some kind of virtual market where i can set the pairs prices as i want so that i can move the market in the direction i want to test my EA instead of waiting?

Thanks

Hit the Strategy Tester button on the MT Toolbar.

Select EA name, currency, time period, set method = 'every tick', select a date range & press Start

This will tell you what would have happened if you had been running live between those dates

After its run thru, you can see the graph of progress, press Open Chart to see the trades against the candles of their Open & Close time

Good Luck
