It does.
BUT
I do not know if it changes the swaps to historical swap values as it backtests. For example if EURUSD swap was $0.10 in 2007 (in the "real" world) and $-0.10 in 2008, it is probably only applying $-0.10 to both 2007 and 2008 in the backtest.

Are you using any other software to back/forward test except MT4. I can say MT4 doesn't have secrets for me anymore but I am not sure how real the history quotes provided by MetaQuotes are. And I kind of doubt the results.

not sure what you mean by "secrets for me"
i'll tell you that if you use the download data feature in the history center, you will be getting quotes from the metaquotes server AND NOT FROM THE BROKER. the broker's historical data will automatically populate if you are connected to the server (repeatedly press the HOME key on your keyboard until the chart won't load anymore)

lol by secrets I mean I have dealt long enough and I have no trouble implementing exactly what I want - but even that is so the data I am dealing with might be not that good.
Yes I know that trick of the history by sclorring back unfortunatelly there is not much data back from the broker. The only broker I have found with some data was Alpari - I could download them fro mtheir web site but the last time I did that I remember having some problems importing those.
