MT5 Stategy Tester Starts with Wrong Balance
Tried searching for others with this issue but no luck.
I recently finished converting my MQL4 EA over to MQL5 so that I could use the MT5 Strategy Tester for backtesting. Initially I'm pretty certain it wasn't doing this, but now no matter what I set the 'Deposit' setting to in Strategy Tester settings, when the test actually runs, the balance suddenly jumps to a much higher starting value than set (visual mode or not). For example I set the deposit to 2000 USD, start the test and soon as it begins with the first trade opened the balance jumps to 36995 USD.
Now that'd be great if it happened like that in reality, but I'm pretty sure this is some weird bug with MT5. I've tried closing it, deleting all logs/cache, etc -- but upon re-opening and starting a new test, same thing happens. If I change the deposit value to 10000, the balance then jumps to 44994 as soon as the ticks start coming in.
What gives?!?
Show proof.
