Hi,
1.8.5 version has bug in optimization mode (MT4 backtesting). Results from a list of tested variants do not correspond to reality. If you select any option from the optimization and then will try to test it classically, the result in backtest is absolutely not the same as result (the same option) from optimization. Please correct this bug.
Thank you.
MT4 - backtesting/optimization bug
Re: MT4 - backtesting/optimization bug
Hi Rozirozi,
Could you please let us know what MT4 Build you are using? Are you able to give a set of steps to reproduce the issue with a standard EA (such as MACD Sample)? If there is an issue, this would be something that would need to be raised with Metaquotes directly as it the bug would be need to be fixed in Metatrader, not Tickstory.
If you can try one thing with your current optimization tests - are you able to temporarily move the files in MT4 DataFolder/tester/caches folder to say a "bak" folder (you can also delete them provided you understand the implications). Once you have done this, does this help at all with the issue you are seeing with your optimization results?
Thanks.
