MT4 Strategy Tester (Period Converter)
The Period_Converter is a script, and you will find it under Scripts in the Navigator window on the left. (This window looks like an Explorer window.)
- Open the 1-minute chart of the currency you are interested in.
- Double-click period_converter under Scripts in the Navigator window.
- The period_convertor window will open.
- Click the Inputs tab, if not already selected.
- Change the value of ExtPeriodMultiplier to "5" and click OK.
Thank you
Hello Zuijlen,
I found the script right where you directed me to look.
Thanks for the help,

Hello Fellow Traders and Coders,
I am trying to back test an EA as effectively as possible. I was reading Coders' Guru's report "MetaTraderStrategy Tester-Part 2", and on page 4 (of 8) he states, "Double click the Period_Converter Script, and that will pop up the input windows". I have searched all over the trading platform, but can't locate the Period_Converter switch or the ExtPeriodMultiplier pop-up window. I need to be able to change the 1-minute data to 5-minute data according to the report. Did they change the platform since the report was written?
Please Help,
Relaxed Trader
