Hi all,
I have noticed something very odd. I use the trade simulator that you can install and run in MT4 strategy tester. I noticed a few days ago that one of my MTF indicators now doesn't work properly while trade simming. I tracked down the issue to the fact that MT4 has done some sort of minor update on 30th April.
Weirdly, when I am running a trade simulate session, my 4 time frame Heiken Ashi indicator now only works on the current time frame, even weirder is the fact that my candle timer indy that never worked in a trade sim session, now does.
Something that sh!ts me is the fact that now under Windows 8, when you run MT4 for the first time, it seems to copy then run all the program files from a Windows created directory in the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal folder. This is a very irritating development. What this also means if I want to run various copies of the MT4 folder, they all default to whatever is the latest running version.
Basically I have to run my trade sims in another virtual computer that is not connected to the internet with an older version of MT4. What a pain!
Anyone have any helpful solutions to this sad state of affairs.
Cheers.
