Backtesting in MT4

Install New MT4 — I upgraded my PC last summer and didn't have any problems. I re-installed MT4 from my broker's website. The only files I copied from the old PC were my source code and sounds files. I don't think copying is the same as ...

Mt4 MetaEditor - Could not launch the compiler?
