Hello,

Is there a way in MQL5 to backtest a specific EA with some parameters and get the results? I know how to backtest my EA from MT5 user interface manually but I am looking for ways to automate this.

Any idea would be highly appreciated.

Hello,

I do not know, maybe in MQL5 you can backtest EA with some specific parameters.
I know there are good programs that are specialized for testing and back-testing strategies.
MT4, MT5 - are terminals and they do this work very well, but I think that special software which is intended only for testing should be used instead. So you can get more accurate test results, and you will be able to find out more details of your strategy.

hello
I have a strategy that I want to test, but I not want to test this strategy on a standard MT tester because I want to get more accurate results.
Can someone tell what program is best for testing of my strategy?

Hi,

I am looking for an EA for manual backtesting on MT5, couldn't find.
I know well backtesting on mt4 with LFH, Vhands or mt4i, but need to make weekly backtest, didn't exist on MT4.

thanks for your help.
