Alpari AZ advantage is we can download Alpari its own quotes data by History Center (press F2 in MT4)
if you use other companies MT4 , they will use the quotes data of MetaQuotes, which make the test result more unreliable.
The reason of don't generate any trade :
1) Forgot to tick the box of "Allow DLL imports", and untick "Confirm DLL function calls" in MT4 Options
Please make sure you use below setting of MT4
The expert log will show "dll calls are not allowed; " when u forgot to do so~ ~
2) your broker spread is too wide(over 0.0045), maybe you can run it withAlpari (RU) MT4:
http://alpari-forex.com/download/mt/mt4setup.exe
3) Error 126/ 14001 --> cannot load library Steady Growth _Beta.dll
3.1 please make sure u have install "vcredist_x86_VC 2008.exe"
3.2 please make sure u have paste "Steady Growth _Beta.dll" at MT4 directory\expert\libraries\ (e.g. C:\Program Files\Alpari NZ- MetaTrader\experts\libraries)
then it can be solve
4) if the log say:" x result have been discarded as insignificant"
then u should untick the box of optimization in Tester
//---------------------------------------------------------
you are recommended to use Alpari (RU)MT4:
because Alpari (RU) Limited allow scalping and have fixed spread 3 to 4 pips during trading time
and the most important point is Alpari-(RU) have purchase insurance for clients’ money.
Even if it bankrupt, and take clients’ money away, thirdy party Limited will be burden for pay back clients’ money !
one more thing, You should realize that, most broker will widen their spread at asia time, so don’t suppose that br oker will be 2 spread at what you saw at asia time ~~

//**********************Method 2 of finding the broker_GMT********************************
if u can't find your broker list above, you can follow below method
please compare MT4 time with GMT +0:00 time and date at below website :
GMT: Greenwich Mean Time - World Time / Time in every Time Zone
it show the GMT +0:00 time and date
Do below step to calculate your br oker GMT:
1) open EURGBP 15minutes chart
2) press “alt” and “2” those two keys at the same time to change to candlestick chart
3) zoom in the chart until it cannot be zoom
4) move the chart to the latest bar
5) move your mouse on the latest bar
6) press “Ctrl” “F” those 2 keys at the same time
7) then u can see the time and date of it(the latest bar)
8) compare the latest bar o’clock and GMT +0:00 time’clock
9) if the bar time is 2 hour after GMT +0:00, then your br oker_GMT is 2 ;
If the bar time is 4 hour before GMT +0:00, then your br oker_GMT is -4;
You should be pay attention of whether the date is different, if the date is different, you should add 24 on the later one, for example
example 1:
Your MT4 = 19:57 3,June (earlier)
GMT +0:00 = 01:57 4,June
Then your br oker_GMT should be before GMT +0:00 GMT = - negative
br oker_GMT = - (1+24 -19) (late – earlier)
= -6
example 2:
Your MT4 = 02:57 5,June
GMT +0:00 = 19:57 4,June (earlier)
Then your br oker_GMT should be after GMT +0:00, GMT = + postive
br oker_GMT = + (2+24 - 18) (late – earlier)
= +8
remember the one who add 24 is the later one !
of course you will have some problem when u do calculate at weekend,
due to the latest bar time will not update at weekend.
you can compare a specific bar's time with other broker which already know it's GMT

I get this error message, when testing your fine EA!
2009.07.15 14:33:06 2009.01.07 02:14 Steady Growth _Beta_Issued_EURGBP_15MIN EURGBP,M15: OrderSend error 130
I cannot change the stoploss, and I think that is the problem, do you have an idea what wrong?
I downloaded the Alpari metatrader from your link. With this broker I get the above error.
I also tested it on Tadawulfx Metatrader 4, works fine!!
Test of Steady Growth beta on Tadawulfx
The test actually seems too good to be true.
I cannot see the EURGBP in the History Download area, so I dont understand how it can run the test on that pair? Maybe this is why the result are good? or you made a killer EA
The test period is from 2009.01.20 till 2009.06.01.
Hello,
