Topic: Pb with backtest in MT5

Hi,
I have a problem after generate an EA with the software when I try the backtest with MT5 it doesn't work.
Do you have already this probleme ?
Best regards
Laurent

Re: Pb with backtest in MT5

Hello Laurent,

What exactly doesn't work means?

- They do not compile
- You receive an error during the backtest
- You see a message "The expert needs xxx bars to start"
- The backtest passes without errors, but there are no deals
- There are deals but they do not match the FSB Prop test

Please post more info and we will try to help.

Re: Pb with backtest in MT5

and no start

Re: Pb with backtest in MT5

So, it is the opposite of "doesn't work".

Try to run it for a shorter period - let's say one month.
Set delay to Zero,
Disable the optimization.

It is slow because it precesses every tick, which is a huge waste of time.

If you want faster experts, use EA Studio and test them on "Open price only".

Ok I sent you the file by PM you can test it smile

Re: Pb with backtest in MT5

Settings.

Until the MT button is red and shows "Stop" it means the backtester works.
