Slow testing speed on Metatrader 5

[MundoForex]

Hi,

I'm developing a D1 strategy that only trades on open candle, on MT4 it runs quite quickly but on MT5 it is several times slower because MT5 uses 1 minute OHLC ticks even when I choose "Open prices only" in strategy tester. Why don't you let programmer choose ticks period?. Thanks

Could you please consider it for the next MT5 version?

Mundoforex,

 Many programmers are having the same problem and it is not MT5. I also ran into this problem before because of the structure of MQL5. Perform a search and you will find the answer.

 

void OnTick()

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

{  

    MqlTick last_tick;

    MqlTradeResult result;

    MqlTradeRequest request;  

              

 SymbolInfoTick(Symbol(),last_tick);

               Ask = last_tick.ask;

               Bid = last_tick.bid;
