How to use more than one local agent in Strategy Tester?

 

Hello everybody,

as far as I can read here https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/341 it seems that disabling the use of remote agents should allow to use all the local agents for testing/optimization purposes using the Strategy Tester.

However it seems that in my case, from what I can read from the log, only the first of the eight local agent (I have an i7-3232QM processor in my laptop) I see in the agents tab is used when I test an EA. So how can I enable the remaining local agents?

You can only use more than 1 agent for optimization, not for simple testing.

Ok, and in this this case (optimization), are automatically seleted all local agents available?

Yes provided they are enabled. See documentation also.
