Hi Hir0406,

I assume you are still able to select the instrument? Are your results correct? This is obviously the most important thing.

Regards.

Hi Hir0406,

I'm not sure what your last screenshot is trying to say. Has the tester stopped? Have you tried testing the standard "MACD Sample" to make sure there aren't any conflicts with running multiple instances of your EA? It is possible that you are running across memory limitations as well, so you need to consider this. Also make sure your FXT files are under 4GB.

Regards.

Hi Hir0406,

To reduce your FXT size, you will need to export a shorter date range. Start with a year of data and see if this firstly resolves the issue.

Hope this helps.
