Hello, I understand that mt5 uses broker server time when back testing but when using for example Alpari, this causes data to use daylight savings time whereas I need to test without any adjustments, ideally GMT for all of the data. Is this possible

Does the strategy tester have a limit on 10 currency pairs? When I attempt to run a test with anymore than 10 pairs it only loads the initial 10 pairs history before throwing errors such as: IJ    2  

Is this possible in mt4

I have read lots of information stating that back testing on generated offline renko charts is unreliable, however looking at the visual back tests it seems as though the tests are reliable when the EA does not use a fixed stop loss or take profit

Sorry basic question I know but wondered what is the difference between using || or &&? Example for each would be: if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol () && OrderMagicNumber() == OrderId2) if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol () || OrderMagicNumber()

I am backtesting my EA on the m5 and it uses bar O/C/L/H from a bar on a different timeframe (e.g. PERIOD_H1) and an indicator on a different timeframe. Now I would assume that if the EA is always using the PERIOD_H1 timeframe and indicator values

Am I the only one having an issue with launching the mt4 build 600 terminal? I have installed multiple instances on my VPS yesterday and launched with no problems but trying to add a few more today and after install the terminal does not launch

I am trying to print the times to my chart but the format is not correct: Log: 2014.02.04 17:47:29.079 Expert Time Check EURUSD H1: Local Time Is.1391536049 GMT Time Is.1391536049 Current Time Is.1391543240 Code:       

Is there any way I can prevent this from happening or to send the order again if it fails? My EA can place multiple trades and I am not sure if this is causing the issue, the fact I have 10+ terminals running or just poor EA coding on my part. The EA

Can someone please tell me what the UTC/GMT offset of the data in the history center of MT4 is when testing at the moment

I am using dukascopy data and getting 99% modelling quality on the m1 (not sure that is even possible) and when I click open chart, the entries are not even within the price of the bar, they can differ from the bars price range by around 20 pips

I have always been able to limit open orders across multiple pairs that all have different "magic numbers" but recently I am having a problem because my EA will open more than the allowed 1 trade if the entry criteria is met at the same

When we run a back test and select open chart , it displays the entries/exits and indicators used. Is there any way to hide the indicators so the strategy cannot be duplicated

In mt4 I can download a lot of pairs but not all show in the symbol drop down box of the strategy tester . Is it not possible to back test these pairs

Hi all, When optimizing to find the best settings a usually go for a combination of the best profit factor, lowest draw down and largest profit. However this can lead to confusion as many many results have good combinations and I end up with too many

I am trying to establish the ATR as a whole number, rather than e.g. 0.00100 (ATR being 10 in this case). So far I have tried the following code all which produce 0.0xxxxx ATR values. I can use the decimal values fine to place a stop loss (Ask - ATR

Does anyone know the GMT offset for back testing in Alpari UK? Also, does anyone know if the metaquotes data timestamp is on GMT or has an offset

As those who like 99% mod quality with tick data know, most tick data goes back to 2007 only (Im using Dukascopy tick data). This means we cannot test from before than with this data as whatever date we set, the test will begin when the tick data

I ran a test for 12 hours and closed the platform by accident...doh! Anyway to get the results without a re-optimization

Which do you prefer and why? For me it really depends on the system. I like to use a fixed risk % where possible as this shows bigger profits because the lots increase as the account grows. However, this is not ideal in some cases where my system
