Strategy Optimizer and Metatrader
Posted: Wed Apr 23, 2014 5:15 pm
Hi!
Before buying ForexTester and paying for converting my Expert Advisers from MQL to Delphi/C++ I want to know if the Strategy Optimizer of FT is really the better alternative to the one of Metatrader (4). I know I can test with FT in Tick-mode. But there are other aspects I want to look at.
-Testing with MT4-Optimizer in M1-Timeframe with about 300.000 possibilities needs 3 weeks to finish. So I would like to know if Forex Tester works faster or needs even much more time than MT4.
-Is the number of possibilites, I can test at once, restricted?
-With MT4 I can optimize several strategies at once with several installations. So, if for FT only one installation in one computer is allowed, is it possible to optimize several strategies at once, too?
About historical data:
I want to buy data of specific broker. If I want to use this data e.a. for Metatrader, is it necessary to buy FT for downloading?
Thank You very much for responding!
