MQL5 Backtest a custom symbol. Market close error

New comment

Hello to everybody! :)

I'm trying to pass my EA from mt4 to mt5 but I'm having problem with backtasting the code..

I've tickhistory, I've downloded the full histoy of EURUSD pair, I've create a custom symbol named EURUSD_tickhistory coping from the orginal EURUSD symbol and then imported all the ticks exported from tickhistoy...

If I backtest with the example ea "MACD Sample.ex5" just for testing and it works without problems


 


When I try to test my code It shows this error:

"failed market sell 0.01 EURUSD_tickhistory tp: 1.23361 [Market closed]"

And no trade were opened

Have a good day

If I try to backtest the same code on EURUSD pair (downloding form server the data) it works (but with 9% of model quality), so I think is an error while i was creatind the custom symobol or I have to add something in teh code.. Any suggestion?
