Not an optimization question, but how do I backtest multiple currency pairs simultaneously over the same period of time? I would like to see the total drawdown on one account of multiple pairs being traded at same time. Possible?
I usually have m1,m5,m15,m30,h1 and h4 displayed in same sized charts on same screen on mt4 allowing me to see exactly what is happening on that one currency pair. Can this be done on Forex tester?
Sure, you can open as many charts of different timeframes as you wish, please use "File -> Add new chart" menu to open a new chart, then you can use "Window" menu to organize charts

You can open the project after generating ticks but note that list of currency pairs should be the same as it was, when you saved a project.
Please open "SymbolInfo.dat" file from your project’s folder (<Forex Tester/Projects/<project’s name>) you can open such files with the help of “Right click -> Open with -> Notepad”.
it means that you need to generate ticks for AUDUSD and USDJPY symbols for 2010.02.22 16:51 - 2010.02.23 23:59 date range or wider. Note that ticks have to be generated for all necessary pairs simultaneously (all necessary pairs have to be selected in “Generate ticks” dialog).
So you need to check that you have ticks generated for all necessary currency pairs (but not for more pairs) for proper date range. If you have lesser date range then you need to extend it.
To avoid excess tick re-generation, please generate ticks at the same time for all necessary currency pairs. To do this, please go to History Mode, open Data Center window, click “Generate ticks” button, check necessary currency pairs and click “Generate” button.
For example, if you generate ticks at the same time for EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY and XAUUSD currency pairs then you can create project for testing only EURUSD pair, only GBPUSD pair and then switch between these projects without re-generating ticks.
So for these two projects you will have ticks generated for the same currency pairs.
