I have this same problem my tester was working fine and now doesn't work on any of my accounts anymore, internet connection is perfect also. I checked my RAM on my vps is round 93% but i have over 10gb space left. What could be the problem and how would i get it working again?
when was the last time that you deleted tester folder and redownloaded fresh ticks and fresh data? and with 93% of ram used, then, what else is running on the vps? how much memory do you have total? This is a technical forum, so you need to give much more details about your situation if you expect to get constructive responses.
Hey guys, I have been encountering an issue with the strategy tester on MT5 since some time. I used it before to run tests and everything worked perfectly until yesterday I launched a backtest and it kept getting stuck at the stage of loading data. I will show you a picture of what the Journal is priinting. I thought even using imported data would work which I did using TDS but still having the issue. It gets stuck at a certain point and the backtest doesn't launch. I even uninstalled my MT5 and reinstalled still same issue. Its always at that last message that it gets stuck and nothing happens. Left it like that and even hours after still not advance. Thanks for help.
If the MT5 Strategy Tester is stuck at "loading data", try these:
Delete corrupted cache:Go to \Tester\cache\ in your MT5 data folder and delete all files.
Clear history files:
Delete or refresh data in \history\ folder for the affected symbol.
Check date range & model:
Use a smaller timeframe and “Every tick based on real ticks” mode for clean start.
Disable antivirus/firewall temporarily — may block data loading.
Check for custom indicators or EAs causing infinite loops or delays in OnInit() .
Still stuck? Try testing with a default EA (like MACD Sample) to isolate the issue.
