Set Market Properties BUG
-
Hello, I have just started to use the set current market block, so take this bug finding with a grain of salt. This is the proyect that I have used it inhttps://fxdreema.com/shared/a3XQcZs7. I have used the block so that I can optimize finding the common set of parameters that maximizes profit in a list of pairs that i have given the block as a string input, so as I understand: the bot will run through this list (matterless of the current symbol chosen on MT5 Backtester/Optimization) and will make a portfolio of the list of pairs and run through it.
However I have noticed that:
- results will change based on the symbol selected in the backtester.
- Here I attach a optimization on all marketwatch symbols (all 10 pairs are in marketwatch) and observe that depending on the pair returns DO change. (image 2) 
] - results from the backtest when selecting that pair (for example USDCADMT5) will often differ from the one in the previous image
.
That pretty much is everything I've got so far. I think it IS a bug, however due to simple ignorance I could be using the block in a wrong manner.
Please FxDreema, hopefully you can read this.P.S. I know you are a single person with this whole project and your platform is hands on the best I have found ever. Keep the awesome work.

@bryan01993 selected symbol always matters, because the EA runs its code on each tick of that symbol. Also, if you select a huge number of symbols, the tester might run out of ram allocation, producing bad results. I got same result for single test and all symbols optimization (EURUSD).
-
@roar I checked for RAM during the optimization and it had plenty to go on still, and I test the bots only on a percandle basis, this time being 4 Hour candles.
-
@roar Did you use the "set market" block in that proyect in which you ran that backtest that you sent? and if you used it how many pairs did you put into the block?
-
@bryan01993 I used three symbols, those have the most data available.
I think its best to investigate this problem with a smaller project (and less symbols) first, so you can exclude other possible explanations
-
@roar I will try again with max 3 symbols and see if outcomes are still unexplicable.
