Optimisation (Backtest) in MT4

New comment
 

Hello,

i want to know why you can optimize some EAs and some not? I have the problem, that one of my EAs works normal, but if i want to optimize it there is nothing in the window, just nothing happens.

Has the code to be coded in a special form for it or what can i do ?


thx and greet

 

1) Do you have the code or have you bought the EA - then it's maybe disabled?

2) Is there zero-devide (tester => journal tab)?

3) Tester settings checked: Spread,...

4) expert-folders checked?

 

This is the fault in the Journal : In some Pairs the Optimization works and in some not. For Example in EURUSD it works, but not in GBPUSD..

  1. EA must return from start.
  2. Under the tester you only have 100-1000 bars of history initially. Does it require more? Do you handle it?
  3. If it looks at other pairs/TF, do not assume that their indexes match chart under test indexes. (Must use iBarShift.)
  4. Testing Features and Limits in MetaTrader 4
