Dear All,
I am a junior programmer and I am learning to code MQL5.
I wanted to automate backtesting to test for EA strategy on different timeframe and currency to know the profit of each EA on different conditions.
But it is not convenient to do it manually as I have to constantly apply the same setting on different testing time.
I have viewed in an video that MT4 can be controlled/triggered by Window Command, it used .dll and an Window interface to load settings and launch MT4 repeated for different testing time.
May I know the technology/scripting that I can do it? Is it Window Powershell to launch the MT4? and how to tell the MT4 to do auto-bacttest? Please let me know.
Many thanks.
Regards,
Josh
