Unhappy

It is apparent that for serious traders, the backtester is a complete failure on the part of Metatrader. Without backtesting over specific market conditions, one never quite knows how an EA will react in the future - That is why we need a backtester. 90% (If you can ever achieve it using this strategy tester) is worthless. It is a crying shame that this system was developed in Russia. Evidently, they do not care enough about their reputation to fix the system - That says volumes about their integrity. It makes me wonder what kind of people are behind the Metatrade organization??

A system that can provide 98 - 100% accuracy as compared to actual trading during the same period of time would eliminate thousands of hours of time consuming forward testing. I just wish we could apply pressure and demand that they fix the program or we would quit trading using the Metatrade platform - That seems to be the only way I can think of to get them off their behind side and produce a quality backtester product.
