I have heard that for protection you cannot back test for x days from today. This is for EAs who tend to hold positions for weeks. That's what I have heard. Not 100% sure.
maybe something...

I believe this only applies to the last week before the current date, not the entire month. But they could have changed it.I have heard that for protection you cannot back test for x days from today. This is for EAs who tend to hold positions for weeks. That's what I have heard. Not 100% sure.
Also, as Atsushi says, if you didn't but the EA through MQL5 then the coder could have put a limitation in it. If you did buy it through here, no such limitation, besides the one mentioned above, is allowed to be in the EA.
what broker you use?

OK guys I've figure it out. Its Appears that the mt4 only can test back as far its been in stalled. Then the test gets the rest of the data from mt4 history servers.
Let me explain. You see my test would not show January 2016 besides 29th, 30th, 31st. But when I put the test to and earlier date. Let's say October 2015, the test results will run up to December 11, 2015 everyday making trades. Then skip to January 29, 2016. Incase your wondering
No there wasn't no long term open trades at this time nether.
It also just so happens that January 29, 2016 is the date I installed MT4 on my PC. Which let's me believe that the platform must be installed for it to collect data. Between the last history update. If not the test will skip over the date. Until the history servers have there next update which will fill in data gap. For the mt4. This idea was confirmed to me when check my vps. Which had mt4 installed and the symbol chart open. During the time in question.
And the Vps ran the same ea with all same setting. And had no problems. Between December and today's date. Last I checked with mql5 the last history servers update was on December 12 and new one is scheduled soon.
