I'm performing optimization on MT5 Strategy Tester using H4 Open Prices Only.
It's obvious my data is not accurate, as the number of ticks isn't the same for all 28 pairs which are read on every tick.
I printed the iTime for each bar for all 28 pairs on the same line from June 2020 to December 2020, the bars are not in sync.
My strategy depends on all bar being in sync, no missing bar.
How do I get clean data for MT5 backtesting/optimisation?
Your suggestions are apreciated.
