Hello,
I'm wondering if you can advise how to backtest/ optimize my MT4 statement? I do not trade an EA, preferring to trade manually.
I have loaded currently loaded it into the Forex Tester 2 via the "statement processor" and run a test which provides the same results as when I traded live. However I wish to vary the data to try different "take profit" values.
I have tried to do this in excel by manually adjusting the "close price" and then imported the data via the statement processor - however as I do not have a "close time" in my data it will not allow me to import it.
ANyone know if there is there a way to import statements without a close time? Therefore allowing different SL & TP values than originally placed?
OR, Can I save my initial test and optimize that? Maybe by turning it into pending orders within FT so I can modify them for further backtesting?
Or is there another way to backtest/ optimize data from manual testing?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Matt
