MQL4 cannot optimise in 1-min, 5-min and 15-min timeframe

New comment
 

Hi,


Anyone encounter this problem before? The system cannot optimise the EA in a lower timeframe. It can optimise at 1-hour time frame for the very same EA. However, if I did not do any optimisation in a lower time frame, the backtest is able to come back with some results. When I optimise at lower time frame (1-min, 5-min and 15-min), the results will be zero trade.

What is the problem with MT4?

Thanks in advance.

Do you even have history for those timeframes?

Hi William,

Thanks for your reply. Is there any way to check if there is any history? If I am not using the optimisation on the same EA, there will be a result. It can be plus or minus. However, if I optimise some of the input, it can come back with zero in the optimisation result. I find it strange. I looked at the journal of the Tester, it says TestGenerator: unmatch data error

At the same time, I did not set skip useless data to see what is the problem as well. Ended up a lot of zero trades in the optimisation. Do you encounter such error before?

Just to add, if I am using optimisation the strategy using 5-min chart of a FX instrument, everything is correct. However, if I use it in stock indices, no result at all.

Thank you.

Ken
