Looking for the tester

 

I am looking for the tester to test MT4 EAs.

Do we have alternative of MT4 backtester?

Yes I know that good alternative is live (demo) testing.

Do we really need to test everything during the very long time?

Anyway I is testing on the historical data. It is not future. :confused:

May be there is some good backtester?

 

I think test on demo account is ok.

Somethimes I am using the Tracert.mqh file. Copy this file to experts\include\.

In the beginning of the EA's code insert:

#include

For example:

#property copyright ".........."

#property link "http://.............

#include

#include

extern double TakeProfit = 200;

extern double Lots = 0.1;

extern double TrailingStop = 0;

extern double StopLoss = 65;

In the beginning of the start() block of the code insert:

SetTrace();

For example:

int start()

{

int ticket, total,totalExpert;

SetTrace();

Then save the EA using MetaEditor (for example e.2.11.test).

Test it using everytick model (do not forget to choose "recalculate").

Click on Open chart button:

red small dots are sell orders, blue - buy; big dots are exit (green - in profit; crimson - loss).

But I think testing on demo is much better.
