Per Dahlin:One of my MT5 installations is downloaded directly from Metaquotes, and the latest updated Build is 4866 from 15 Feb 2025 I noticed that after this latest update, the Strategy Tester now shows "Indicator" instead of "Expert" at the top in the Settings tab. Is this a bug in this Build of MT5? If possible, can anyone who has updated this latest version check this. As a comparison, another installment from FXTM is Build 4790 from 10 Jan 2025 instead, it shows "Expert" there as it should.
"Indicator" is a valid option for back-testing. It might of just reverted by accidental click. So just change the settings in the Overview to one of the "Expert" options.
