Hi FFXT,
As noted in the steps above, the way to get all your settings for XAUUSD is through step #1 which is to select your symbol in the "Map to" field. Please see the attached slide for further details.
Your symbol settings need to match on both systems. Make sure all your other export details (Leverage=500, Export begin/end date,
time-
zone, etc) match on both machines you are testing/comparing with. Once you have exported with these settings, nothing else needs to be done as far as your exported data is concerned. Both systems will have
exactly the same data (assuming of course there were no errors logged during the export process).
The next bit is unfortunately the part where we can only offer generic information and that is in relation to your test environment and the EA you are testing. Please make sure your terminal version and all the
Export properties are the same on both systems:
- Check the Metatrader
Help->
About box and ensure they are both the same version
- Check your initial deposit settings and make sure they are the same
- Ensure that the EA inputs are the same
- Copy over the same version of the EA to your other test machine (including any indicators or DLLs)
- Reset all EA parameters to default.
Once the test is complete, check the
Journal tab and see if there are any differences in the last few log entries. If there are, this will likely give you a hint of why you are seeing differences. For example, perhaps one Journal tells you that you have "No more equity", this would mean that the Initial deposit or EA settings are different. Check the last trade that occurred - are they the same trade? Same profit? If not, you'll need to understand why.
Note that if you have exported data with exactly the same settings on both machines, your problem
will not be related to your data. It can only be related to your EA and the variables mentioned above.
Hope this helps.
