thx Sangmane, i appreciate you giving the code snippets.
I tried backtesting Steve's EA with MT4's-tester, but it took sooooooooooo long just to get over a few days that i cancelled it...
is this some kind of MT4 flaw ?
If we are going to look for the best inputs, it will take years before we find the "optimal" settings... and we would of course do that for many pairs...
Is there any other way to reliably and efficiently backtest and optimize an EA ?
(ok, another programming-related question... sorry )
