Anyone know why I'm getting this error when testing XAUUSD?

You can only test with one symbol.
(XAUUSD).
Mehmet Bastem: You can only test with one symbol.
No, You can test with other symbols just fine. But in MT4 you can only trade one symbol.
I recommend: Do not trade multiple
currencies in one EA.
- You can't use any {MT4: predefined variables, MT5: predefined variables,}
- must poll (not OnTick, unless you use specific indicators)
The Implementation of a Multi-currency Mode in MetaTrader 5 - MQL5 Articles - and usually other problems, e.g. A problem with iBarShift - MQL4 programming forum - Page 2
- You must handle History {MT4:4066/4073 errors: Download history in MQL4 EA - MQL4 programming forum, MT5: Timeseries and Indicators Access / Data Access - Reference on algorithmic/automated trading language for MetaTrader 5.}
- Code it to trade the chart pair only. Look at the others if you must. Don't assume that Time[i] == iTime(otherPair, TF, i) always use iBarShift (or MT5 equivalent.)
- Then put it on other charts to trade the other pairs. Done.
