EA runs slow on one platform but other EAs run fast.
I have been developing an EA but after a few backtest runs it now goes really slowly. It runs fast on my other computer with the same broker like it used to do where it runs slow now. It has nothing to do with my EA code and I have cleared all the log files, caches or any other files related to the
Tester unmatched error makes no sense to me
I have two versions of the same EA where the only difference is the indicator being called. EAs A and B were both working until I edited the indicator that B calls. Now B gives unmatched errors and doesn't trade but A still runs on the same time period and data. How can the problem be with the data
