Strategy Tester

 

I am newish to the Tester (historically never got anything very useful / understandable).

I have been trying to use an AI based EA and suggests using the tester.

I run from 1-jan-2018 and have no trades but the following messages in the journal.


2018.02.23 08:41:41.780 TestGenerator: unmatched data error (volume limit 889 at 2017.10.20 00:15 exceeded)

2018.02.23 08:41:41.779 TestGenerator: unmatched data error (volume limit 621 at 2017.10.19 22:30 exceeded)

No idea what this means and not sure where to start looking (various posts in the forum don't seem to relate to this error)


Any ideas appreciated

This question has been asked and answered numerous time. Not sure why you can't find the answer.

In summary, this is an MT4 error, not an error in your EA and it means data prices from various timeframes don't match, either your broker made some errors in their data OR you mixed data from different sources.

Many thanks.

Apologies I was looking "how to use Tester" rather than specific error.  Will try further searching
