Strategy Tester Stops Working
-
After using my strategy test a few times it stops working. On the visual mode it stops taking trades and on the non visual mode the green bar goes half way and stops.
When I first started using the tester I could test for a whole year in a couple of minutes.
I empty all the history, log and broker files before I start testing, which usually helps for four or five tests than it all just goes to crap again.
Any ideas??

@daniel208forex There can be many reasons. Did you change the broker? Did you use a different symbol?

I try different pairs because iv'e found that if I use the same pair for multiple tests in a row I start getting results that aren't true. Like 95% win rates.
So I try different pairs after 3 or 4 tests.
The problem has continued to get worse. I've thought about uninstalling it and cleaning up all the files and maybe trying to download it from a different broker.
I've dug through alll the system files and delete all the files that are created from testing and files created in the different brokers

@daniel208forex Sounds certainly weird. Uninstalling and reinstalling everything is a good idea.

@l-andorrà that's what I'm thinking too. I think ill try a download from a different broker too.
If you've never had that problem, where did you download your version of MT4?

@daniel208forex I always download the platform directly from the broker's page itself. So far no broker's platform has failed in such a way.
