    Hi Itinerant,

    As far as I’m aware the MT4 back-tester does not allow you to cross-reference another pair.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Tickstory,

    Under normal conditions in strategy tester, provided that the history exists it will let you call values from another pair.

    What I’ve done now is manually import the various .csv files into MT4 and run the test.

    It all seems to be working that way.

    Thanks 🙂

    Hi Itinerant,

    That’s interesting to know. So while testing say EURUSD, you can use a call like:

    iMA(“USDJPY”,0,13,8,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,0);

    and it will calculate the MA for USDJPY?

    Any reason why you are not using the Tickstory ‘MT4 Export’ feature rather than importing a CSV?

    Thanks.

    Yep, sure does. Provided it has access to the relevant history.

    It didn’t seem to want to work. But I’ll try it again when I get the chance.

    Thanks, Itinerant. Please do try the MT4 Export option – it should make life a lot easier. If you are having any issues let us know.

    Seems to work fine now. Not sure why it didn’t the first time around, but all is good.

    Thanks for making some great software.
