The manual he is referring to is most likely the included PDF file, not the online help. In the PDF the link is missing

@Valkyry: Well, the Parameterspace analysis will not. However, in the WFA, Metatrader's optimisation is used and then the single trades, from the "forward trading" backtest are parsed. So, if the renkos are set up properly in the Metatrader installation that you use to create the cluster from it *should* work. But I dont know, try it, and if it does not, perhaps we can find a workaround Attention: forextester.com data does not have proper volume informations! So you should import MT4 hst files or MT5 csv files (as in the manual).

Darwin-FX, Thanks for your reply. The reason I asked is because I cannot see any pictures in DATFRA, not after a WFA, not during the strategy builder or not anywhere at all actually. So I my initial thought was that the pictures ended up in the wrong directory. But if I got you right, it is supposed to store the pictures in the bin/ folder? Have a look at the attached picture and you´ll understand my problem. As to your question about timeframes, I´ve been using H1 mostly. {image} {image} {image}

The spread is directly put into metatrader. MT4 handles this a bit "odd", but an input of 3 should be 3 pips, even on 5 digit history data. You can check the spread like that: Print("Spread = ", (MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_ASK) - MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_BID))); -Darwin

bool spread_is_ok()
{
   // check spread
   double spread = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_ASK) - MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_BID);
      
   if( spread < pipValue )
   {
      Alert("ERROR: SPREAD IS INCORRECT: ", spread);
      Print("ERROR: SPREAD IS INCORRECT: ", spread);
      
      return (false);   
   }   
 
   return (true);
