MT5: the steps in the tester can not selected for timeframes
-
The steps in the tester can not selected for timeframes - see attachement.
I use local build_043. When do you will have a solution?

As I can see, there is no need to define this parameter, because timeframes are already there in their list (and they have specific step). If you choose 1 Minute for Start and 1 Month for Stop, it will iterate 21 times with all timeframes in between. Scroll down on the Inputs list and on the last row just under the column Steps you will see how many times the optimizer will do the job.

I know how MT5 works. The steps in the tester are selectable. There may be used a range and Values can be excluded. For Example: I can not choose, that the step from 1 to 15 must be 5. The result is that all steps ( as you said ) are calculated. The steps are not selectable when programmed with fxdreema.

Well, you can always ask mql5.com forums or the support of MetaQuotes why didn't they added such an option right there. But even without it, the optimizer will jump from one timeframe to another if Start and Stop are different, and the step is... depending on timeframes, it's different. The same situation here: http://www.mql5.com/en/forum/1726
This is because the datatype of this parameter is ENUM_TIMEFRAMES, but if you change it to int (somewhere on the top ot .mq5 file) it will become a plain number and it will enable Step. Then, you also need to know what is the number representation of these: http://www.mql5.com/en/docs/constants/c ... timeframes ...
M5 is 5, M15 is 15... and you can check here (on the top) what is the number representation of all timeframes: http://www.mql5.com/en/articles/81 -
Thank you,
you have done a good work.
