Automatic Validation Error for XAUUSD EA When Tested on EURUSD – How to Fix?

[Darell Valiente Taganas]

Hi everyone, I developed an Expert Advisor (EA) exclusively for XAUUSD on M5, but when I run the validation or attempt to publish it, the test seems to be automatically running on EURUSD, which causes a validation failure.

I want to ensure the EA validates correctly for XAUUSD only.

• How can I force the validation/test to use XAUUSD?
• Are there specific settings in MetaTrader 5 that restrict EA validation to a particular symbol?
• Could this be related to code limitations or broker/server issues?

Any guidance on how to fix this issue so I can successfully publish my EA would be appreciated!

You cannot force validator to use only XAUUSD.

According to MetaQuotes rules the automatic validation process is designed to ensure a product is robust across different environments (any symbol/timeframe):
"Products cannot apply restrictions. All limitations should be marked as recommendations"
