I've got a bizarre problem occuring with Strategy Tester. I've been having problems with this function for a week or so, and have posted asking for advice (none provided). I looked into the problem further, and found out why none of my backtests work. Even if I choose a start date of say, June 1, 2006, and an end date of September 1, 2006, when I run Strategy Tester, the chosen dates are listed properly (in the brackets after "Period"), but the actual dates tested are completely out to lunch. Please see the attached testing report. You can see the dates I chose as being May-10/06 to August-4/06, yet the dates it tried to run the test on were Jan-1/1970 to Jan-1/1970. What the hell?? I try inputting different dates, and the same thing happens (though the actual dates tested can be literally anything). Sometimes the actual dates tested start with a point closer in time than the end date (i.e. it has May 1, 2006 as the start and maybe Jan1, 2006 and the ending date). Of course I'm getting no information from this shit.
PLEASE HELP. I've uninstalled my MT4 and reloaded, but I still have the same problem.
