I download sources from KB only by clicking on the corresponding file, as in the picture.

Thank you so much!

Hey guys, I've been trying to run the examples, but the screen flashes and nothing seems to happen.

Could anyone help me to run the simplest possible test using the MultiTester?

After placing the updated version of the files to their appropriate folders, how should I test the example EAs?

Save MTTester.mqh from Russian codebase.

Thank you. I did that but still no success with the tests. I must be doing something dumb lol

I am trying to simply run 2 EAs as in the attached code. 

#include <fxsaber\MultiTester\MultiTester.mqh> // Множественные прогоны/оптимизации в Тестере.

// Эта функция отвечает за формирование списка заданий.
void SetTesterSettings()
{
  static const string ExpertNames[] = {"Examples\\Moving Average\\Moving Average.ex5",
                                       "Examples\\MACD\\MACD Sample.ex5"};

  const int Size = ArraySize(ExpertNames);

  for (int i = 0; i < Size; i++)
    TesterSettings.Add(ExpertNames[i]);
}

I should simply place the EA with this code in a chart, or should I do something else?

The size of the current version of the MTTester.mqh file is currently 123,822 bytes.

Do you use this library for everyday backtesting or do you prefer the Virtual library? Does it seem like the latter option is more convenient?

I don't see how these two libraries can replace each other.

After all, Virtual allows you to perform virtual backtesting, but only for your own strategies. And MultiTester can run any ex5-files. I was wondering: do you even use MultiTester for your own strategies for automatic backtesting?
