Hello Traders!

Does anybody know answers to the questions below plz?

  1. Am using strategy tester in mt5, are the results reliable?

  2. I understand you have to use tick data than actual brokers for best quality?

  3. When optimising several input parameters, it takes days to complete, is there a faster way of doing it apart from mql5?

Thanks a lot guys

Hi, I think you should find answers to these questions in the MQL5 forum. Regards Greg

Hi Jckbt, thanks for your detailed reply.

Yes, i do use tick data for better consistency. Say for example i run a back test and optimize some parameters and on the second run optimize other different inputā€™s, does the strategy tester take in to account the first run parameters for continuity of the whole optimization and form a link sort of for the whole strategy? does that make sense?

Yes it is reliable and donā€™t worry, you will get an idea with time. It is a gradual process of learning but you will get there.

I find MT5 strategy testers quite reliable. Whenever you want, you can use the ā€œEvery Tickā€ setting.

I have been using the strategy tester of mt5 and find the results to be fairly accurate.
