MT4 multicurrency backtesting in tester environment - writting trading decisions into .csv - page 3

 
Stanislav Korotky:

It would be great to know more about the multicurrency indicator you refer to.

MT4 tester generates ticks for only one - work symbol, but OHLC prices for other symbols are available (on the history). At least on the current timeframe. The problem can be in mutitimeframeness. I did not try this.

indicator, that looks at 21 pairs and calculates INDEXES for 7 currencies. (EUR, CHF, USD, AUD, CAD, JPY, GBP)

Very nice, that it can take OHLC from others, thanks.


additional question - can one take .hst data on a tester for one currency pair with multitimeframe for only this pair? lets say trading EURUSD on 1m and taking data from 1h and 1d? I mean only EURUSD data? if this is possible, then it must be possible that it can take EURCAD 1d also in calculation?

Marco vd Heijden:
So, the closest you can get to a real world scenario would be to run it on M1 because then OHLC get's updated on a minute to minute basis.


I see..so, this is possible in a way. pls refer to my answer to Stanislav also.

Yes, i dont use ticks, only open/close calculation.


I appreciate all the help
