Hi dukas_trader,
I have a question about MT4 strategy tester.
Strategy tester was always clunky when I used it but I was able to get by because most of the time I only used it to observe price moving more quickly than real-time. Unfortunately even most of that functionality has now gone with the current build (1090).
I did buy Forex Tester and at first liked it but now loathe it! I find it a very difficult program to work with, almost impossible to import my broker's 5 digit data and most annoyingly, supdem, which is the only indicator I use, doesn't work in Forex Tester (a few of us did try and port supdem into Forex Tester but with little success - the program runs so slowly it's practically useless).
I want to be able to observe price moving at faster than realtime in MT4 with supdem using my broker's 5 digit data. I'd also like to be able to pause playback. Do you know if there's any way to do this?
Cheers
Edit:
Spent a bit of time this morning checking over some other forums and found the answer, which is quite simple. In the later builds, the strategy tester window loads in a compressed fashion and just needs expanding. An easy solution, but easy to miss as well. The old issue of being able to properly adjust the speed of playback still exists but I can work with that. Have included screen grab for thread:
