When I try to use the Strategy Tester it opens with a black screen with "waiting for update"...no update happens and I'm stuck. I'm using MT4 build 225 from Forex.com. If I reload a new version of MT4 it works for a while, then starts the "waiting for update" nonsense. When I test I get loads of "mismatched chart errors"...could there be a relationship?
Any help is mightily appreciated!
You don´t have the history data needed to display a visual chart for the selected period.
Make sure you have downloaded all data for the dates & timeframe(s) you are using first OR that you are connected to internet when starting the tester and you will be ok.
Also if you run Vista or Windows 7 run MT4 + MetaEditor as an administrator or you might encounter trouble with saving downloaded data in you program-folder creating the need for the client to download new data each session.
Also the history data are saved server-wise in your client meaning that if you for example switch from Demo-server1 to Demo-server2 you will have to re-download all data.
