Builds higher than 660 cluttering up HD with log files and slower optimization speed - page 2

I´ve made a clean install, put my EA there and all is the same as above. Does your EA actually use a SL, without that you won´t get these logs.

yes it does, didn't you look at my log?

are your orders pending? that looks like a promising cause to me.
mine are not. 

mine test was on 5 digits, €$, live account,  genetic optimization, custom criteria, 700MB/4GB file.

I can´t see from your log if your EA uses a SL or not, your log just doesn´t say anything about StopLosses, which also could mean your EA uses no StopLosses. No, the orders are not pending, they are market orders, always exited by a StopLoss. I am backtesting in Bar Open mode only, maybe try that and see if you get them then? Btw, I just saw that MQ announced the logging of StopLosses for build 670, that´s the version since I am experiencing that, so that makes sense that I get these logs, just not that they are also there during optimization which seems to be a overlook by MQ.

i can confirm that tester SL is logged during optimization on b670, when nothing  shouldn't be logged at all.

i am sorry to state that you are not able to read logs. you should invest some time in understanding what is written in log, when and why.

What do you mean? The logs I am talking about log each SL that occurred during the optimization for each pass of the optimization. I posted them already, so what is needed to be interpreted differently in these? It clearly shows what it logs and that actually isn´t the problem at all, the problem is THAT it logs at all while it should not during the optimization as it clutters up the harddisk.

And might I rather suggest that you learn how to actually FIND logs? X posts long you are telling me "no, there is nothing logged" in build 670 and 745 and now out of sudden you say it logs on your system as well? LOL

If during the each optimization process each single trade is written to the journal tab - which I doubt and I haven't seen so far, but actually I am not yet optimizing:

Go tell it to the service!! But don't forget the logfile!

Haha, good one. I´ve reported so many bugs to the service desk during the last YEARS, not one of them was responded too nor fixed at all. And they will sure like it if I attached 100 Gigabytes of log files. Also why do you "doubt" it without having even used the optimization of MT4 yet? Isn´t this a bit ignorant to comment like that without having tested anything at all and just assume that it most likely should not do it? If you think like that with MT4, I guarantee you there are many surprises to come your way. I am using this crap software since 2004 since my clients demand me too do so, I am pretty sure I know what I am talking about and do not fake log-files just to waste everyones time.

And, what MT4 *should* do and does are two completely different things.

Optimization is currently running, hence some log files are locked and 0 byte, but so far it looks like this:

64 Gigabyte of log-files so far during running a genetic optimization. Each StopLoss hit for each and every trade in each pass of the optimization is logged and it can clearly be seen that this is during OPTIMIZATION, see line #1 of the log, example (just like before):

Hmm - I am not yet read to backtest, so I can't check myself what you write, but your folder tester\logs wasn't created by any of my last terminal updates?

Anyway at least in the past there was a possibility to start the tester from the command line: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/127577 and https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/138637.

And as far as I know you can send all the outputs to NULL ( command >nul 2>&1 Redirect error and output to NUL ) - that could be a work around.

If you successfully get the tester work to optimize like that it would be nice if you to post the command line order(s) and the set-file - without the sensible data - if you don't mind.

Others might need that work around as well!
