Trades executing in visual mode but not in optimisation?

Any idea why my EA is clearly executing around 300 trades a year in visual mode on 3 symbols simultaneously but when I try to optimise, many iterations have 0 trades, and most are 0-10 trades with the odd one at 20ish. This is weird since the code is the same and it works fine in visual mode

MT5 Data Interpolation?

If I upload tick data into MT5 and say 15m bars, is it still possible to test on 1m OHLC in Strategy Tester ? Is MT5 able to synchronise the 15m bars with the ticks and generate 1m bars? Or would I need to specifically import 1m bar data as well to be able to test in this way

Saving MT5 2D/3D optimisation charts

Hi, I've run some heavy-duty optimisation and I'd like to ideally save the 2D/3D charts so that I can see stable parameter values for my EA. Is this done by saving the .OPT file? I always export the results which I have been doing for some time but my EA is fairly quantitative and I want to see what

Using seconds timeframes in an EA

Before I post a job for an EA, I want to know that my mechanical strategy can be programmed from a technical perspective. Most of it has to do with structure (with programmable rules) on the M1-M5 timeframes, but the entry timeframe is typically on the seconds timeframe (5-15s typically). Is it

MT5 Strategy Tester (all market watch symbols)

Hi, I've got an EA that runs on 8 symbols concurrently and I've downloaded tick data for all of them and loaded them into MT5. I've used MT4's strategy tester quite a lot but when I run strategy tester on MT5 to optimise my EA's parameters, I get results after the optimisation is done, but there is
