What are the differences between the three modes of testing in MetaTrader 5, and what should be particularly looked for? How does the testing of an EA, trading simultaneously on multiple instruments, take place? When and how are the indicator values calculated during testing, and how are the events handled? How to synchronize the bars from different instruments during testing in an "open prices only" mode? This article aims to provide answers to these and many other questions.
 
Marian Sorin Neagu: I've solved this problem by opening an order with minimum lot at the beginning, when on testing. It allows me to pass the verification.

That is not the correct way to resolve the problem. That is "cheating" the system and will also cause problems when the product goes on the Market and is downloaded for testing in the Strategy Tester. Please don't encourage that sort of misbehaviour in the community!

Also, when adding code to your post, please style/format it properly with the "</>" icon in the post's toolbar or use "Alt-S".

Thank your for your observation. I've deleted that post. I "cheat" the system because it test my EA on pairs that I do not recommend. Cheers!

Just because you don't recommend your EA for certain symbols, does not mean that your EA should be unable to handle different types of brokers, symbols and markets. Your EA must be foolproof and properly coded. That is why the validation process must test various settings, to make sure that your code is robust. If you "cheat" the system, you will only end up having some user complain and giving you a bad review. You will then have to fix it anyway according to the rules and risk being banned if you don't. So do it correctly the first time around and protect your reputation on the market and by not getting a bad review because of "cheating" the system.
