See attached, both brokers reacted the same?
RayIn the target write the following : "E:\FXPrograms\terminal.exe" /portable (with quotes included - I am assuming that your terminal is indeed in the E:\FXPrograms folder)

Thanks, the space between the last " and the / had me.
Thanks again

I guess I'm going to push my luck and ask another question. I'm unable to backtest renko. The steps are:
1. I run a script that changes 1M data to 5M Renko data
2. I retrieve the 5M offline chart and by some miracle
3. placing the Strategy Tester period on 5M it uses the 5M renko chart for the test.
Well that don't work any more. Steps 1 & 2 seem OK but 3 is not working, any ideas the script that has worked in 509 is below.
Thanks

That script is writing old history file format. Did you try producing renko charts with some of the indicators from this thread : https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/183798 and then using it for that kind of backtest?
ValeoFX Separate gap (displacement) added for lower and upper arrows. Try it out

Mladen, sorry to be a nuisance, but this indicator does not have the adjustments on it?

The above script is working on M5 and it backtest with no trouble ???????
The only change I made to the process is the "/portable" addition. The indicators load on the M1 but no comment on the M1 chart & no M5 offline available. When I change it to M4 or any other non standard chart , it works?? The rules are getting a little fuzzy.
Bottom line is that the only renko that can be backtested is still SCRIPTS ONLY.
Thanks

Don't know how it happened (working with this new metatrader and new metaeditor seems to have some rules of its own). Here is a version with those gaps

What I think is the following : when you run that script it will run in a "compatibility mode" but when you try to back-test, back test will expect a new history file format not the old one (that is produced by that script) and that is why you can not use it any more in that way

Did you try that kind of a back-test with renko mean live chart (one posted here : https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/183798/page12 ) ? Renko mean allows generating of a 5 minute offline data (unlike the renko live chart) so it could be a possible solution to test if the back test will work using the data generated by renko mean (and if the problem is in the old format of offline data generated by that script

Good morning Mladen,
Thank you again very much.
Continued success to you.
