Are pair trade EAs feasible to test in MT4?

Hi everyone,

Currently I’ve written an EA that enter trades in EURUSD based on the prices of EURUSD and USDCHF. However I seem to encounter problems when backtesting on historical data as the USDCHF doesn’t seem to update in sync with the EURUSD giving me a lot of wrong entries when I check over the data.

Are there anyways to rectify it or is MT4 just not suitable for this sort of testing?

Thanks for the help.

tools > history center —> download what you need. that may help; however, mt4 does not support backtesting with opening orders for multiple currency pairs if that’s what you’re getting at…if not, the history center updates should fix your problem :slight_smile:
