Testing on "All Market Watch Symbols" stopped working somehow

I have a strange problem: I have created an EA that I would like to test on a few different pairs.

First Order Ticket is always "2"

Why is it that any first order I open always has ticket number "2"? I open my orders with this (relevant) code: #include <Trade\Trade.mqh> CTrade trade; void onTick(){ trade.Sell(lotsize, Pair1, BidPair1, ShortSL, ShortTP, "1S" ); trade.Buy(lotsize, Pair1, AskPair1, LongSL, LongtTP

EA testing over multiple currencies forces me to do optimisation?

Hello! I recently switched to MT5/MQL5 in order to be able to easily test my EA over multiple currency pairs. I have ported my code and everything works great but I am having a really mundane problem now: I just don't seem to be able to actually get the Tester to test over multiple currencies
