Backtest/optimize/MT4 Historical Data - page 3

 

I found this very interesting project which I think would help a lot of people in this forum - http://www.cubesteak.net/mt4-multi-broker-tick-and-m1-data-project/

 

Can anyone help me with this Script?

GainTicks2fxt.mq4 is a script that is supposed to convert gain files into fxt files.

After dropping the script over the 1M chart what do I have to do next in the "inputs" and common" tabs?

For most of you this must be a very basic question but I really have no idea what to do next.

I think the original page for this script is here https://www.mql5.com/en/code/8658 (in English) and this one https://www.mql5.com/ru/code/8658 (Russian language).

I do not know sorry. I've never used it.

 

Backtest Look vs. Live look

I have an EA I am backtesting. Shouldnt the backtest screen look exactly as the live market looked at the same time?

I have(or at least think) seen where my backtest indicators while stepping through with the backtest doesnt look the same as when I was watching the charts live.

Anyone have any experience with that?

Thanks
