How To Test Smart Channel EA
Smart Channel EA can be tested using the Metatrader Strategy Tester. Since this EA uses many graphical objects and the graphical events work only on live charts but not in the Strategy Tester, you won't be able to configure the channel graphically using the tester. Therefore we have programmed a set of graphically configured test cases to the EA to let you test most of it's features easily.
Use the following steps to test this EA:
- Open the strategy tester (Ctrl + R)
- Click the Expert Properties button and select a test case than click OK (Each test case name shows the Symbol, Timefame and the Start Date of the channel)
- Select Smart Channel EA from the expert drop down box
- Select the Symbol and Timefame based on the selected test case
- Set the Start Date based on the selected test case
- Set the End Date to one or two months later
- Adjust other parameters as you like
- Start the tester
- Since graphical objects do not work properly in the tester you might experience a delay in repositioning the panel while resizing the tester window. So before the tester starts, maximize the tester window.
Please note that all graphical objects including buttons do not work in the tester environment. It works on live charts properly as described in the tutorial video.
If you didn't see the channel while testing, check if the tester has started form the right date. Sometimes MT4 strategy tester fails to load data from the exact entered start date and it starts the tester from a later date. To avoid this problem you can use the most recent test cases.
