Help needed in resolving EA backtesting challenge
Hi All,
I have built an EA and wish to test. But I am having problems backtesting with the strategy tester on MT4. Initially, I have done a test on the ST with same code, BTCUSD on 1H timeframe. It generated a result. I repeated with 4H, 30M, and 15M and the ST worked fine. However when I tried with 1D, it came up with the message, 'There were 1 passes done during optimization, 1 results have been discarded as insignificant'.
I though it had to do with the timeframe. When I checked back with the previous timeframe that had given me result earlier, same message is returned. I hae checked all setting, parameters I could think of but no solution.
Anyone please cos I am stuck.
Make sure you have enough bars in history. Restart and use Every tick model.
See attached details from Jornal
The EA I develop is not executing trades on backtest.
The alarm I get on the journal is simply 'There were 1 passes done during optimization, 1 results have been discarded as insignificant' and 'Tester margin exchange rate can not be calculated'.
I am stuck and can not proceed further.
