Automating MT5 Strategy Tester - page 2

The original question here hasn't been answered. I too would like to run several test iterations (potentially hundreds) on an indicator across multiple currency pairs and time periods to see how it functions in different environments.

Has anyone done this yet? 

Yes, but not in the tester i run these multiple tests in the OnInit() function.

I see no reason as to why someone would want to do this in the tester.

Well, the reason is that one can run tests on the tester while in the cloud, and use hundreds of cores for getting results as soon as possible, and enabling quantified inputs for the expert advisor.

Well then it boils down to the use ability of the gathered data.
