Local Farm Agents fail in Strategy Tester

New comment
 
My local farm agents fail once in a while. They work well for days and then suddenly my strategy tester cannot use the local farm agents anymore. I have tried a lot, updated all agents software, disabled firewall and so forth. But nothing really helps. Does anyone have similar issues with strategy tester and local farm agents? Any helpful tipps are very appreciated !

What are the differences between the three modes of testing in MetaTrader 5, and what should be particularly looked for? How does the testing of an EA, trading simultaneously on multiple instruments, take place? When and how are the indicator values calculated during testing, and how are the events handled? How to synchronize the bars from different instruments during testing in an "open prices only" mode? This article aims to provide answers to these and many other questions.

It seems to close the connection all the time ... I have no clue why ...

 
I found a solution myself: when I restart the remote agents everything seems to work again ... thats not a very nice "solution" but at least I can work around that stability issues ...

The thread does not finish anymore, which is the reason why the agent cannot be used anymore during my testing.


Does anyone have an idea why the agent thread may remain open?


 

Still having the issue that flocal farm agents not working after a while in backtesting whith MetaTester.

I noticed that the USD symbols may only generate the problem.

Does anyone have an idea or tipp ?

sounds like something you need to be asking support, so they can forward the question onto mq.

Where can I post something to MetaQuotes. Could not find it directly in mql5.com.

Sorry, for asking that. My first issue that I would forward to support ...
