Tester set mode to math calculations or adjust testing dates
What settings are you using for the Strategy Tester, maybe you can post a screenshot ?
Hi, first time running a back test on MT5 and I get the error message "set mode to math calculations or adjust testing dates".
Any suggestions how to correct this?
Below is the code I used for my algo.
Thanks!

This message would show when testing end date preceeds or is equal to start date. To test for a single day set end date to the day following it.
