It seems that over the last years backtesting on MetaTrader 4 StrategyTester did not improved at all. Not sure why though.
But did you know there are additional tools to make MT4 backtests much better, error-free, backtest EAs using multiple time-frames and even use historical variable spread. All this allows to reach 99% modelling quality running a tick data backtest.
For those who want to learn how to perform accurate backtests in MT4 using free tick data, I've just posted this ultimate guide online.
