MetaTrader 5 build 2121: New design of the Strategy Tester - page 10

[Ilyas]

Roffild:

A reminder that there is a bug with the string buffer:

The function from the DLL can be anything.

Thank you for your message.

Fixed in MT5

Unfortunately, no. Use curly braces to visually group complex terms, please.

We have a completely new engine.

I have been using the old Metaquotes style for years. Will I have to change all my EAs?

By the way, I noticed that there is a new Custom item in the "Indicators" menu (it is now grey and inactive)

[Vladimir Karputov]

The Expert Advisor uses two timeframes - current and specified. Therefore, we have two tabs in the tester, but they can only be opened one by one:

Please: Is it possible to place these two tabs side by side? Approximately like this:

These custom indicators were there before and they are active now (I won't give a screenshot, take your word for it).

And the new items are Replenishment and Withdrawal (still greyed out) in the File menu.

More strange:

If I login to metaquotes demo the symbols show.

If I login to my live account (ICM) the symbols do not show.

In the new version of the terminal, does running the tester through ini files work as described in this manual?

I have a program that runs optimisation through ini files in a third-party way, but it doesn't work anymore.
Maybe the file structure has changed?

Problems started after upgrade to version 2170

[Andrey Azatskiy]

I understand there are now separate configuration files for the strategy tester, hence a number of questions:
1. Is it still possible to set this file when starting the terminal from the outside?
2. Is the terminal shutdown at the end of testing/optimization still available?
3. Is the file structure saved and where can it be viewed?
4. Do I now always need to combine robot start and optimizer start parameters in the same file ?

[Andrey Azatskiy]

Where can we find out how to set up the optimiser/tester to run automatically through the console like it did before?
