MT4 Backtest Bug in v 1.8.5

[tickstory]

Hi Dignitas123,

As you may appreciate, we don't assist with EA trouble-shooting/issues unless it relates to a bug in our software. For your error, you will need to refer to "Order send error 134" which is detailed in the Metatrader manual or you can do this search for some useful help:

Kind regards.

I have to answer myself here. When I put lower risk the error doesn't show. However it is weird, that with broker's data it works normal. So.. Not that big of a deal

Hi Digitas123,

It is quite possible that your EA's trading profile is different with the tick data back-test and hence the margin call. That's the advantage of testing the chinks in your EA's armour with a tick-data back-test Sounds like it's worthwhile running a few scenarios & different periods to ensure your EA is handling various market conditions gracefully.

Regards.

Actually the EA doesn't get a margin call, I had to code a mutex around my main execution logic in the EA to make it work. This thread helped me, if anyone experiences the same problem where your "Tester incorrectly generates error 134":

I can test the armour of my bot finally and the right mix between back and forward testing, there is a lot to do.... ;D

Thanks for helping me with the issue.
