#???# Back Tests on Meta Trader 4 - important questions #???#
Meta Trader platform has 3 different counting methods for back tests. There are:
1. Every tick - the most precise method based on all available least timeframes to generate each tick
2. Control points - a very crude method based on the nearest less timeframe, the results must not be considered
3. open prices only - fastest method to analyze the bar just completed, only for EAs that explicitly control bar opening
Can anybody explain me how is calculated (on Meta Trader platform) each method listed above ?
I 'am waiting for your answer - thanks.

Hi
I found what I think will help you in the following places:
MT4 UserGuide (F1 from the terminal) in the section titled Auto Trading | Strategy Testing | Setup. This describes each method in general terms.
https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/1486 has an explanation of the calculations used for modelling quality.
https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/1513 has more explanation of things, for example, why modelling quality on 1 minute bars can only be 25%.
Hope this helps.
