Backtest EA buying multiple currency
Sorry did not explain properly:
Can we backtest an Expert on MT4 that buy or sell several currencies ? or is it limited to the currency we select ?
For example EA that buy eur/usd and sell GBP/USD, it seems I cannot backtest this EA it will buy the currency selected in MT4 backtest.
Thank guys

Thanks so much phoenix , I quote
"Trading is permitted for the symbol under test only, no portfolio testing
Attempts to trade using another symbol will return error"

Hello Everyone,
Long time I haven't posted, but I am back to the forex and forum.
Does anyone would if it is possible to backtest your EA that buy or sell different currency.
I am not sure if it is feasible, as so far I have been able to backtest an EA on 1 currency pair and when the EA tested was trying to open an order for another pair there would be an error message.
Can someone help me ?
I suppose this backtest will be really useful to use correlation in between pairs and see if the hedge achieved can be sufficient for the EA.
Otherwise the solution would be to test both EA independently and to corss reference the margin ?
Thanks
Sunwest
