run strategy tester from code? - page 2

RaptorUK:

OK,  I've just done a little testing using the info you sent.

I have no problem with MT5 running each time I execute the following . . .

  . . . obviously my paths are a little different to yours,  I am running in Windows 7 Pro 64bit.

I was running EURUSD without any problems but when I changed the config.ini to GBPUSD the Strategy tester was still running with EURUSD,  when I investigated I found that GBPUSD could not be selected manually in the Strategy Tester.  This was easily rectified by going to the Market Watch ( Ctrl + M ) right clicking on any symbol and the clicking Show All   this allowed me to select GBPUSD in the Strategy Tester manually.  When I tried the command line with the config.ini  set to GBPUSD it executed correctly and the Strategy tester was started with GBPUSD.

Let me know if this helps or if I need to keep investigating . . . .

Hi RaptorUK, I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bits as well.

I have uninstalled MT5 at all again and installed it again in the folder: MT5Installs (the same as you), I did that

because I though maybe the problem was some spaces on the path, but it was no success. I putted the config file on the same location

as you but it didn't work. Here you have a video I made:

Wow RaptorUK, it works! :)

I couldn't imagine this could be a problem for the tester,


thanks a lot for the help!

I suspect you have a typo in there somewhere,  but now you have it working you can test and find where the issue is.
