Hello. I'm using latest MT5 terminal. (5.0.0 build 4620) I'm trying to use this function with strategy tester. Symbol: BTCUSD Account size: 10000 Leverage: 1:1 Here's an example output when I'm trying to debug it inside Trade\AccountInfo.mqh (the

Hello. I am running the optimizer on my laptop and I have agents linked to my PC. I just bought a new motherboard and cpu with 12 cores. When I start optimization, Windows on my pc starts to hang even when I only use 6 agents. The cpu is around

Hello. I have code that opens a file using  int file_handle = FileOpen (file_name, FILE_READ | FILE_COMMON | FILE_TXT ); ...... FileClose(file_handle); If I run it with optimization disabled and visual mode disabled, it runs fine the first time

Hi. My EA is reading a json file which I've placed in the common folder (using  FILE_COMMON flag in FileOpen). When optimizing it works fine, but once I add agents on my other PC, it can't find the file even though I've placed it in the common

Hello. I have on my onInit many  return(INIT_PARAMETERS_INCORRECT); statements to exclude any combination that doesn't make sense and save passes. That still leaves tens of thousands of possible passes if not more. However the genetic based

Hello. I bought an EA a while back. It doesn't work well, And now the seller took it off the market and I can't even write a review while he keeps selling his other EAs. There need to be an option to write a general review on the seller for anyone

Hello. Does the percentage shown include deposits made throughout the signal

Hello. I'm looking for a way to find an EA's Equity Loss Maximal figure. And I don't mean the existing Equity drawdown maximal because I only want to know what was the maximum amount a position has dropped with respect to it's entry price, not to

I'm testing an EA. I noticed it sometimes opens positions (in strategy tester) with a volume much greater than my balance + leverage. How is that possible? I this screenshot I have 972 EUR balance and I'm using 1:30 leverage. It opened a volume of

Hello. When I start debugging with historical data from MetaEditor, it changes my EA's input parameters and I can't figure out where can I set those? These are not the defaults and they are not what I set in strategy tester before starting the

Couldn't find a bug report contact so I'll put this here. There's a small bug in the strategy tester results that took me a while to figure out. If I do backtest + forward test, and in the backtest I filtered out some options, lets say

Hello, I have a function using the iATR method.  My function is being called once per bar onTick(); I noticed when backtesting that my RAM gets filled up within a few seconds and my Windows freezes. If I comment-out the last line

Hi I ran the tester with the fast genetic algorithm with forward testing. Then I picked a specific result, put the exact parameters into my bot, and ran it in visual mode. I got very different results in both backtest and forward test visual tests

I have the following results table. I'm not sure which one to prefer. My testing was done on a 500 euros account. The first row has the most profit in forward testing, but the backtest is at a small loss. The third raw has profit in both forward and

In the documentation, it's said that MT5 caches optimization results for each testing parameters such as period in order to not repeat them. https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/algotrading/strategy_optimization What if my "to date" is

I would like my EA to have separate TP and SL for when it's volatile and when it's calm. How should I detect it? (I don't want to use an indicator) Will taking the average size of all the bars in the last week be enough? Anything above it would be

I am trying to follow this article https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/4917 He is setting the optimized parameters as global variables. But how do I use them in my EA? I can't set input parameters to global variables because they require a constant. And

Has there been any study about the best strategies to optimize? Right now I'm asking myself if it's best to test over a long period of time (a few months) or to re-test once a day over a short period of a couple of weeks. Testing over a short period

Hello Is it possible to link several inputs before testing? For example, if I have 1 boolean input and 1 double input, and when the boolean is set to false, I don't want the strategy tester to bother testing all the range of the double input because

Hello, I opened a demo account with a 1:1 leverage with a certain broker. I am trading Gold (XAUUSD), so contract size is 100 I have 50,000 EUR in the account. And I opened a BUY with trade size of 0.1 The current price was 1870.00 on MT5 I see that
