I'm Tired of Getting This error message when trying to optimize an EA
The EA and MT version mismach is the most likely reason.
Get the source code and compile it by 223 MetaEditor/MetaLang.
or downgrade MT to an earlier version.
I downloaded the MetaTrader from FXcbs and started having troubles optimizing FapTurbo45PRO, among others. I thought it was the EA, but I now think that it's in MetaTrader (I'm using 223). This is the message I keep getting:

I have another problem with MetaTrader and optimizing. I tried optimizing an EA with 1 variable having 6 choices. Other parameters were date range 04/12/2009 to 04/17/2009. The optimization took over 4 hours. The results were -$318 to -$332. Wow I got to wait 4 hours for that information. As I said, I don't think it's the EA, but is some serious conflicts within the MetaTrader 4 software.
=========================================
When was the last time you Optimized an EA? Try again today to see if it's just me and FapTurbo45PRO or do you have troubles with other EAs?
