Checking data lines up and is correct in MT5
Posted: Mon Apr 12, 2021 4:50 am
Hi there, I have followed the instructions to import tick and bar data into MT5 but a friend I am testing with is getting wildly different results: he ran an EA over a week and is comparing it to the report generated with same settings with same EA using MT5 strat tester.
Is there some way we can check the data we have is absolutely correct and lines up correctly with the market data, if that makes sense? I ask as I am worried that we do not have timezones matched up correctly.
If you don't change the 'Adjust timezone' box, what effect does it have on the data? We are in London (UTC+2) but the broker server is GMT+3 and wondering whether when we run tests if this is messing up our testing as our EA has time settings inside it.
