Hi,

Thank you very much for you precious informations! I understand better how Metatrader is processing during the backtesting of an EA. There was some document on how to get a got sample of data for backtesting in one of the pdf file explaining the Phoenix trading system.

I'll try to load the one minute's chart :-) For sure it must be quite big and I know that backtesting an EA is never a good proof that it will work, but if I can use this kind of ticks' backtesting, it can give already a good idea of the result when trading live later on and the process to fine tune the EA is faster if we can perform quick tests.

Thanks a lot to you again!

Cheers,
Daniel
