I've seen a big difference between the "Market Scanner" run and the "Single" run during backtesting.
For instance for GBPUSD : the "Single" run gives as result : 1.060.000 € profit, while the "Market Scanner" run returns 24.270 € profit with the
same settings.
What's also strange: I've added some extra pairs for testing with the market scanner, and now the backtest for GBPUSD shows the same results as the
single pair backtest.µ
The "Marcet scanner" shows the same symbol more than once. I've scanned 35 symbols, but instead of schowing 35 different symbols, he shows 35
rows but several rows containing the same symbol with the same results.
So ... I don't know anymore what to believe or trust.
I'm happy that my (windows 10) pc is not crashing anymore. With build 2280 my computer was getting completely blocked.
Please make the backtester and optimiser a reliable tool with control over comissions, swaps and slippage !
The article provides the results of testing a simple trading strategy in three modes: "1 minute OHLC" using only Open, High, Low and Close prices of minute bars; detailed modeling in "Every tick" mode, as well as the most accurate "Every tick based on real ticks" mode applying actual historical data. Comparing the results allows us to assess...
On my computer, the 2301 version of the strategy tester failed to perform optimization tests properly.
The same EA, the same parameter input, the same optimization task, each run returns a different set of error results:

Build 2310 complete algorithm seems fixed, GA still a mess.
Anyways, great tread as this may be, posting here https://www.mql5.com/ru/forum/321656/ is
more likely to yield results regarding solving the bugs or suggest features.

They are completely rewriting the Strategy Tester so the beta will certainly have many bugs.

I'm happy to hear that !!
I hope you'll add the possibilities to add indicators and charting
objects more easily (like in MT4).
And also a very usefull feature: optimisation over multiple currencies, to find out which settings works best in general over a selected list
of symbols.
When a graphical object is created using the ObjectCreate() function, it's necessary to specify the type of object being created, which can be one of the values of the ENUM_OBJECT enumeration. Further specifications of object properties are possible using functions for working with graphical objects.

old builds of MT4 and MT5 - post #121Where do we have to report bugs in MetaTrader platform ?
In service desk, there is no topic you can create about MetaTrader platform itself. They only deal with financial operation now.
Reporting on forum is the best practice ? I just like to know for the future information.
Is there are post dedicated for that ?

Thx for any replies.
