Hi all, I don't know if there is any thread about this, but I would like to know if there is any possibility to include exotic pairs in the strategy tester of mt4. Actually if I click the Symbols button I just have the majors and some crosses, but I'm interesting in testing an EA with pairs like EURNOK, USDTRY, etc... and they seemed to be not available. I have all this pairs in the market watch, so I can trade them, but not in the strategy tester.

Thanks!!!

As far as I know, you should be able to use any instrument in the tester.
You could try attaching the EA to the chart that you want to trade (obviously, disable Expert Advisors or dis-allow live trading)
Then right click on the chart, select Expert Advisors/strategy tester and you should find the pair in the Symbol window of the ST.
