Silly question, but...can MT4 indicators/templates be applied to FT2 for back-testing?
Thanks.

Re: MT4 Indi's
Hello,
MetaTrader 4 indicators can only be used in MetaTrader itself.
Anyway this is not a big problem, MT4 indicators could be rewritten by a programmer into Forex Tester format using Forex Tester API libraries (we have Delphi and C++ API for writing indicators and EAs). The conversion is not very difficult because our API is very similar to MQL.
You can find API files in C:\ForexTester2\Examples\Indicators folder.
Please see more information about API here:
Forex Tester -> Help -> Indicators API
You can rewrite indicators by yourself or we can find a good programmer for you, just let us know.
If you need programmer’s help please send these files to email services@forextester.com so our programmer can check if it is easy to convert them into Forex Tester format.

Re: MT4 Indi's
There is one particular indicator called "Synergy_Pro_APB" i would like to use for backtesting.
I think it would be a great learning experience to rewrite it myself if it hasn't yet been converted?!!
Has anyone converted Synergy_Pro_APB yet?
Thank you.
