The size and multiplicity of lots, swaps and commissions are taken from the current account parameters. Modeling is done as closely as possible to market conditions, but there can be significant differences in cross rates due to the lack of accurate rates at the time of conversion in each time period. In the trial period, operations enter Instant Execution mode. Testing is not performed on non-standard time frames, even if you add them via script. Any test, regardless of whether it is an MT4 tester or another simulator, begins with downloading the quotes. On MT4, this is done as follows: Click “Tools / Quote File” Check the necessary currency pair and choose M1 charts (they provide the most accurate historical data) Download the data.
