Rosh:

Place a tick in the box

Thank you! In MT4 it saved without user intervention. Maybe make Save deleted charts enabled by default?

Some agents won't start remotely, here's the log:

Although via localhost this agent works locally.

What could be the reason?

Describe in more detail.

Do you have 2 regular local + 2 (or more) remote agents on the same computer?

Do you have 2 full-time local + 2 (or more) remote agents on the same computer?

No, I don't.

I have 3 computers, all at different ends of the planet. All 3 computers are networked using Comodo EasyVPN. I have pings to all computers, I also tried firewalls just in case. I can start agent on my computer 2 but I can't start agent on computer 3 as I can see in my log above. But if I start agent on 3 with local (i.e. from 3), agent works, even if I prescribe IP, which is assigned in the network.

What kind of error is the agent giving out?

[Oleg]

I have a position of 1 lot. Please advise how to calculate the profit on a partial closing of a 0.1 lot position. Thank you.

[Aleksey Lebedev]

beginner:

PositionSelect(_Symbol);
профит при частичном закрытии=PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PROFIT)*(0,1 lot)/(1 lot);

excluding swap and commission.

build 401.

1) It seems MT5 users will never wait till the developers will add one switch on the tester form and

write one line of code with an if condition... to avoid opening of visualization window on each run.

although it was asked many times and many users in this thread many builds ago.

2) Please restore the output of remaining optimization time calculation in the full size tester window (as it was in MT4).

When trying to test on usdjpy I get a message like this:

and seems to go on indefinitely, when it got to 3000 I turned it off. Tests tried to switch on 2010.10.01 - 2010.10.10, only opening prices.

bild 401

Also can't get another remote agent to start, here's the log:

I have encountered a similar problem - it turned out that the versions of terminals are different (terminal from MQ upgraded, terminal from A-ri did not). Including if local agent is installed for another terminal, which didn't update. The "error" appeared after the 387th build, and there it was:

14. MetaTester: Оптимизирована передача параметров тестирования

That's probably why it couldn't connect to agents whose build was lower than 387
