Tester for interlinked multiple EAs ??

 

Hello all,

I am using a hedging technique with 2 EA's - one is the primary opener/closer and one is the hedging mechanism, using Magic #'s to interact with each other.... The problem is that I cannot backtest the system in MT4 - as Tester can only run one EA at a time.

Can anyone suggest other ways for such simultaneous testing of 2 or more EAs ? I suspect this is beyond MT4, but any suggestion would be most welcome.

Best regards,

Dan

 
thanks
 
Why are you creating two separate EAs?

The easiest, most accurate, definitive way of testing 2 EA's simultaneously is to run them on a live account. You will learn very, very quickly how profitable your system is.

Good luck.

Not if the EAs in question are designed in such a way that they only take one trade a week . . . there will be nothing happening very, very quickly in that case.

What about running the EAs in different terminals and linking then via named pipes . . .

Ha very true. I guess I got a little carried away.
