Basic Question from a beginner - More results in journal then expected
I have M1 for USD EUR loaded in a single MT4 offline test installation :
My Code code at Start =
double Hilfsvariable2= (Close[0]);
Print("Aktueller Close ",+ Hilfsvariable2);
I expected the get one close for each 1 minute candle in the mt4 journal:
And, Close[0] is the same as Bid
This is the result: I get many results for each minute? I can't explain why?
What is the "modeling" setting? Every tick, control points, open prices?
@ RaptorUK,
i know the start runs for every tick but i haven't loaded tick data - only minute data:
Even if i would say one candle (open, high, low close) are 4 ticks it doesn't match...
Because at one other minute i get 5 or 8 results in one minute.
@szgy74,
it's control points, every tick gives me a message 2013.09.01 13:19:04 TestGenerator: internal error because the file not opened
I think it's because i have no tick data loaded

Synthetic ticks would explain the result
I dont know how to open the fxt...?

You don't open it, but if it is read only the Strategy Tester cannot create a new one when needed and you will get errors.
