mt5 strategy tester bug ? miscalculating end time... where to report?

New comment
 

hello

i think this is a bug and should be fixed - where i can report this?

if i do some large FULL optimalization that will take several hours - lets say 77h like on screen in attachment

294784 paasses to do

but in some cases (+- 30%) - i KNOWN that this parameter set that is now processed is WRONG / have no mining to test this - then i return `init failed` - so it does not need to run this test and waste time on it

so after 25h - it says that it is doing test no 96328

BUT IN REALITY AS ON OTHER SCREEN PART it is doing test no 127930 /126982 etc

so almost 30000 more tests are done than the counting here at the bottom - this are this init failed ones.

- IT IS NOT counting this that init failed as done - and probably BECAUSE of that - time calculation is WRONG

in real life - after next 24h - it will be saying that another +-24hours are still to go and then - in one sec - after really passing last ( 294784 test) - it will just simpy finish

i think that if this init-failed ones would be also counted as 'done' then time calculation probably would be a lot more accurate ?

please consider this issue

best regards

You should be returning parameters incorrect, not failed. OnInit - Event Handling - MQL5 Reference - Reference on algorithmic/automated trading language for MetaTrader 5

i see thx i will change that

but this not change anything - from my point of view failed is also done / this should not affect time calc..?
