90% modelling quality

[FrinkFX]

I can get 90% quality if I use the M5 timeframe but it's still only 25% on M1

Am I missing something?

Does the M5 mean the expert only executes once every 5 minutes or is it still on every tick?

I don't believe you can get higher than 25% on 1M charts.

The reason is that MT4 doesn't really have "tick" data. It may call it tick data, but it's 1M data. The strategy tester has no clue what's going on for 59 seconds of every minute, so it can't test 1M systems very well.
