Backtesting mq4 EA code help

Hi I recently created a Hedge EA. Which trades as expected. However, I'm not able to use on the strategy tester. So my question whether EA have to be developed differently for backtesting? Maybe events, or functions etc. I'm completely clue less.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hello vaibhavjha!

There could be several things why your code does not work in the tester.
- in MT! you can only test your EA on a single period, of if your EA uses multiple, then it will won't work
- if your EA uses data from multiple currency pairs, probably it won't work either, since it can only test on one currency pair
- it is possible, that your EA needs some input data, which you need to set in order to work properly

It is a bit hard to tell what the issue might be without seeing the actual code, but these are some possibilities.

If none of the above is true to your EA it should work, since there is no difference between the strategy tester's and the trading environments.
