Hello,
I`ve downloaded the history file for CRYPTO BTCUSD and want to backtest in MT4. My EA is written to work with 2 digits after the decimal delimiter(which is how my broker shows the price - IC Markets), but when i backtest the results show 5 digits after the decimal delimiter.
Could you advise how i can edit the data so i can get a valid backtest for BTCUSD?
Any feedback is much appreciated.
Best Regards
Vanyo
BTCUSD backtesting on MT4
Re: BTCUSD backtesting on MT4
Hi Vanyo,
The only thing to note is that when you are exporting, make sure you go to the Export MT4->Metatrader Info->Map to field, expand the drop-down menu and select "BTCUSD". This will automatically grab your broker settings for the symbol (including setting the 'Digits' field to 2).
Thanks.
