Strategy Tester Glitch???

I donot have any idea what I am doing wrong here.
When I run strategy tester with metatrader 4, select a strategy, and do 1 one run, when examine the results the simulation does not cover the complete span of data visible and loaded into the system, for the pair in question. E.g., I load in gpbusd H1, span on the chart is from 6-25-06 to 12-13-06, and yet the simulation stops on 10-10-06. The same for all the other pairs as well. And I make sure that I have selected the range that covers and overlaps all the data for the pair. So why is the simulation not calculating to the end of the data, 12-13-06?

On Blackberry, short reply.

Either you need data from additional timeframes which isn't loaded or code throwing an error (div by 0?) which would stop further execution.

Those my best guesses.

There's only so much data loaded into MT$ when you first download it. You need to download the historical data from Alpari. Still, the backtester results are flawed vs. realtime demo'ing....
