Which of this models is best to test EAS? and why?

• Every tick (the most precise method based on all available least timeframes)

• Control points (a very crude method based on the nearest less timeframe)

• Open prices (quick method on completed bars, only for Expert Advisors that explicitly control bar opening)

Every tick, it says why in your text.

@jstap why not open prices? It's faster

[jstap]

Because only if your ea is only working on closed candles...not very likely

[TipsyWisdom]

hands of the user is probably a good default answer. lol

All depends on EA logic first and foremost.

you need to understand what the different types are, especially if it's a scalper
