How to modify EA's code so that it can backtest & autotrade on custom symbol charts?
ddchbm: Hi! I thought I found an article on this (actually thought it was on this site), but I can't seem to find it in Google anymore. Would greatly appreciate a reference and/or an actual explainer here. Thanks so much!
There is nothing special to do. If your EA is properly coded to automatically adjust to different contract specifications, then all you have to do is select the Custom Symbol in the Strategy Tester and test it normally.
EDIT: By "automatically adjust to different contract specifications", I mean the same things that would be expected for an EA the pass the Market verification process.
