Debugging with real data

New comment
 

Hi,

I'm currently testing and debugging a MQL5 US30 strategy. The tester is set to work on a US30 chart and historical tests work fine. However, if I click the debugging on real data button, the terminal opens a EURUSD chart rather than US30.

I assumed that it would automatically use the symbol set in the tester - am I missing some configuration?

Thanks

Fixed - I found the configuration in Metaeditor ->tools->options->Debug/Profiling

Any good reason why it can't just run off what is set in Strategy Tester->settings?

Well done on finding your own fix.

As you can see by the menu in MetaEditor, Debugging is controlled by MetaEditor and not the Tester.
