Hi Adeller,

Profit calculation mode is set in the "MT4 Info" tab when the "Export to MT4" option is selected. We're still not exactly sure what causes this error in MT4 so if you do find a solution, please let us know.

Hi

I have exactly the same error message when testing dax. First trade is opened then "tester cannot calculate prices" and backtest stops

How can we set the "profit calculation mode" ?

Hi Magixo,

Not exactly sure what this error is indicating. The 'profit calculation mode' is one of the parameters that could be affecting things - possible values are 0=Forex, 1=CFD, 2=Futures.

Have you tried asking the question on the MT4 forums?

Thanks.
