Hello,

I'm wanting to backtest the same number of bars at different timeframes (M1, M15, H1, etc.). Let's say 1,000. Is there a way to do this via the EA?

I tried making the 'Every N bars' block the first block in the series, connecting to 'Once per bar' (previously 1st), but no luck with it so far.

Any help would be appreciated.

So the ask prices remain the same even as the candles go up and down? Or is there just no way to see historical ask prices? The fact that the ask price is a 'straight line' (often below the bid prices) instead of a complimentary 'jagged' line shadowing above the bid prices is what is confusing me. Thanks for your continuing help.

The highest seems to max out at about two pips. Even though all slippage and spreads are set to off/zero:

Spread and slippage are all set to zero, and it still does it. I have the view Ask line on, but it is just a straight line that appears BELOW the candlesticks.

Hello,

As you see in the image, sometimes it is executing buy orders at impossible prices during backtesting. If you notice the two buy points, for example, they are WAY above the top shadow of the relevant candle - or even of those nearby.

Thanks! I just did a full registry un-install of MetaTrader4 (using Revo Uninstaller to ensure NOTHING remained), then reinstalled. I deleted all the EAs that installed with it, then put mine in, and it works like a charm.

Hello,

I've been trying to have the EA place consecutive buy/sell orders according to a technical indicator, but it keeps occasionally entering a 2nd new long buy position before the first one is closed - despite the buy order specifying to use 100% available margin per order.

Could someone please let me know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
