Can't backtest this year's even with famous bots - page 2

[Fernando Carreiro]

This does not help as we cannot replicate the issue. So please run the test with the example EA I suggested in my own example.

Use the same settings, and show then show the log, but first clear all the logs and restart MetaTrader so that the log is clean and from the start with only the test I am asking you to do.

Devil Trading #: ok sorry, check this one 

Also, please open up the chart for the symbol and time-frame you wish to test and make sure it is showing all the required data you plan to test.

I tested the MetaQuotes platform and it worked for 2025, so it seems its a problem with the broker, i will try reinstalling it...

I see from the log, that you tested "Examples\ChartInChart\ChartInChart.ex5" .

This is however, not a proper EA, but none the less, I see that the Strategy Tester reports the following lines ...

BTCUSD: history synchronized from 2023.01.02 to 2024.11.18
LL      0       14:34:22.834    Core 01 BTCUSD,M5: history cache allocated for 202193 bars and contains 190288 bars from 2023.01.02 00:05 to 2024.11.18 03:05
QO      0       14:34:22.834    Core 01 BTCUSD,M5: history begins from 2023.01.02 00:05
DQ      0       14:34:22.834    Core 01 BTCUSD,M5 (Pepperstone-Demo): OHLC bar states generating. OnTick executed on the bar begin only
LN      0       14:34:22.834    Core 01 BTCUSD,M5: testing of Experts\Examples\ChartInChart\ChartInChart.ex5 from 2024.12.01 00:00 to 2025.01.15 00:00 started with inputs:

...

BTCUSD,M5: 0 ticks, 0 bars generated. Environment synchronized in 0:00:00.022. Test passed in 0:00:00.065.

What I can say from this, is that besides the request to test from 2024.12.01 to 2025.01.15, you only have data available for 2023.01.02 00:05 to 2024.11.18 03:05

Meaning that either your broker does not have recent data available (because it stopped trading that symbol), or something is preventing your terminal from downloading it.

Well reinstalling the broker software didn't fix, any idea about it ?
