Strategy Tester Question

New comment
 
When I run the strategy tester it runs the MT4 default green bar candle chart layout. There have been times where the tester has ran with my default chart layout. Is there something I set to make it always use my chart layout, so I don't have change the MT4 default green bar candle chart settings every time I run the tester?
 

The template ordering for new charts is «EAname».tpl, (if tester) tester.tpl, (if debugging) debug.tpl (if offline chart) offline.tpl, and then Default.tpl.

Set your chart the way you want and save a template and then apply it onto all other existing charts.

A template is just a text file. You can edit it.

Perhaps you should read the manual.
