MT5 Back Testing - LEVERAGE

New comment
 

I hope someone can help / advise.

I am logged into my broker account - and the leverage on that account is 1:10

I want to test the EA, based on that leverage 1:10

In the Strategy Tester | Setting tab the smallest setting is 1:25

If I enter 1:10, it seems to accept it, but the moment I press 'Start' the leverage in the settings changes to 1:100


All I need to know is what is the leverage that is being tested???

I will try to use a 'trade pad' or some other tool that may display the leverage......

It seems that for some reason your broker (or your setup) has limited values in the Strategy Tester or something else is causing the issue, because on my setup I have no such problem.


 
You can check the leverage in use with this.

That does not work.  I wrote the following code in my EA:

Comment(IntegerToString(AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_LEVERAGE)));


so that I could see what leverage I was using.  The EA would display the value of the leverage I would have selected or typed in the Strategy Tester drop down but no matter what value I used, there was no effect on the results/profit.
