Hello all. I hope I am not going to ask something too silly but I am trying my best to learn the backtesting environment in MT4.
I am trying to develop an EA and I am backtesting using a signal from an higher time frame that I trade on the 5 minute chart.
The problem I have at the moment is that I have a signal from the 18th of November 2011 but the trade develops only on Monday 21st of November.
Basically I am trying to run the backtest from 2011-11-18 to 2011-11-21 but seems that due the weekend break mt4 stops simulating. I have tried in visual mode and mt4 backtesting stops at 22.30 gtm time.
There is any workaround for this problem ?
