If I download tick data from other sources and import it to MT4. Are ticks would be virtual too? If yes, then MT4 is bad for backtesting, we need your own software to backtest tick EA’s.

Hi, SaverO.

You got too little trades.

I did an EA, and backtested from 2013 01 01 – 2013 01 10. I am  buying and Selling with 1 pip TP on every tick.  My TP differs from SaverO TP, but TP price doesn’t have influence on trades number. No other filters. And I got over 530000 trades.

You tested 2 years and got only 354,985 + 29,513 trades.
