This has been in mt5 for a long time now.

The mt4 tester sucks and doesn't even make sense to run it.

Is there a withdrawal emulation in the mt5 tester?

Or it's not provided for in principle

Вадим Калашнков:

For some reason, most people make the same mistake on the tester and optimiser. Namely, the lack of emulation of regular outputs. It turns out that if a strategy at least worked in the first few months, it accumulates a balance that is very difficult to lose. But for some reason everyone counts profit on the initial deposit. Emulate monthly withdrawals up to the initial deposit volume, and the results may surprise you.

An alternative option is to use reinvestment.

Don't be so harsh, every tool is for its own work)

I agree, the mt4 tester is for generating pretty pictures and nothing more.

4ka is for simple miscalculations. 4ka tester simulates ticks and there is no tick history there. But it's good for quick checks. OHLS on history. It is enough for many tasks, without taking into account the market realities.

For quick checks 5 is no less suitable. The main advantage in 5's quotes is the absence of "holes", which very often affect the "four".

And reports in 5 are noticeably better than in 4.

The process of creating a trading robot has one very important psychological component. (Oh that psychology!) When you write an "ordinary" program, such as designing a database or creating an application for a Web server, you know exactly what the end result will be, and this result depends only on you - on your skill and professionalism. In addition, you can perfect an "ordinary" program by ensuring that it not only performs its functions, but also does so with maximum efficiency - quickly and with the least strain on your computer (or server).

The result of the trading robot's work does not depend on you alone, and it is not clear what is considered "perfection" for it. Now imagine that you are a perfectionist and you are used to perfecting all your programs. You spend an unimaginable amount of time, effort and nerve on creating a robot but the result of your efforts is more than modest. You are trying to perfect a program for which the very notion of perfection may be unacceptable.

And this becomes a serious psychological problem. It's very painful for your professional ego. All sorts of gloomy thoughts creep into your head.

Or maybe you are not as cool as you think you are. Just write your poor back-end and don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong. You're out of your depth in this field!

You can either give up and admit that Forex is too tough nut to crack or keep on going and tell yourself: You did it!

YOU DID IT!

I am still hampered by the complexity of the proximity of concepts to the stock market environment. To work out the logic, you have to simplify. And this is exactly in 4. I.e. the task of determining the states of a series, beginnings, ends of stable states must not take into account the times varying spread, the broker's tricks, these are eternal and complex tasks of mathematics and other disciplines. The stock market environment gets in the way.
