After "export to MT4" nothing happens when I make a test

Post by Fireblade »

Hello,

I have downloaded the us500 as "export to MT4" but when I then start the MT4 through your software, push start nothing happens. I just get the quishy tone, as if its done, after 1 sec.

Hi Fireblade,

The Journal tab will give you further information about what errors there may be. If you haven't already, ensure you have "mapped" your symbol correctly to US500 when exporting (see our manual on how to do this).

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, hmm still have the same Problem.
I delete History center to be sure I get the ticks.
Checked the manual, looks good. A little doubt is with the Map to function, when I look at my symbols on MT¤ it says .US500. I have tried that and with .sh at the end

Hi Fireblade,

You will need to check the MT4 Strategy Tester Journal tab for the problem. This will indicate what the issue is.

Thanks.

Hi Fireblade,

It looks like you are correctly testing with tick data, however note that your EA has an "array out of range" error and this is what is causing the problem ("Testing pass stopped due to a critical error in the EA"). You will need to fix it to continue.

Here are some other threads where this error has been discussed:

Thanks.
