backtesting

[Alex_1]

So when i loadedd my indicators onto the ea and got everything running I tried to backtest data from say 3 months ago till present date but when I press start it only takes like two trade (so basically not all the data) how do I fix this to where it takes into account bars from 3 months ago?

Is their MT5 data reliable?

@l-andorrà

MT5 is only soft, the tick data are very acurrate. I only use it with MT4 but i dont see any reason why wouldnt work with MT5.

Always use tick data, the result is very diferent form History centrum in MT and its more closer to real market like 99 percent
