Tester potential bug or error???

New comment
 

I'm experiencing a strange issue?

Like most on here, I have a designated MT4 offline back-testing platform. Weird thing is, when I boot up the MT4 platform for the first time, if I try to do a fresh back-test of an EA it won't place any trades or if it does it seems to drop out loads that it should have taken at the beginning!?

Although, I can see my comments being accurately updated which is odd.

What I have to do to get it working is then run a back-test of an EA that buys and sells at the market. I stop that, then revert back to my EA that I originally wanted. 

It then works :s !?

Let me know if I am missing something, i usually do :P

If the platform is offline, how does it download symbol history data?
 
I import all the 1 minute bars and then I use the Period Converter script.

Strange isn't it :s?
 
Any one else have an opinion from the video I posted above? It's really odd!?

Sometimes I'll also be backtesting and the results are SOOOOO different :s!? No parameters or code changed?
 
I'm now getting randomly "Global Initialization failed"???
