How to Backtest Metatrader 5 (MT5) - The Ultimate Guide for 2024

Not enough for the beginner to understand 😢

Great tutorial, it's all clear, though I was wondering... is it possible in MT5 to replay the data, while also being able to arbitrarily buy/sell?
Basically, trading normally but with the power to advance/rewind bars and see my trades reflected on my balance by the end? (Going like... ok f12... f12.. f12... f12.... here's an entry f12.. f12... f12... it didn't work SL.... f12.... f12.... f12.... here's another entry .... f12 ... TP ... f12...)

Rather than programming some strategy?

Well I didn't get it 😢

If we wanna run our ea on different broker but with same timezone still is it better to use alpari data to optimize our ea? Or for any broker is better to use its own data?

Destop spec for backtesting and full time ea running?

What name of websit, when you buy a data pliize ❤❤

How do I backtest my EA to do sell only on MT5?

You forgot that red and green results are not the same. it might look good but your equity suffers on one side, or your balance suffers on the other

Hi can we use multiple time frames ? Like moving from one time frame to another like Trading view. ?

Hi, I’m new to trading. I just don't understand: If you can simply download a free software like MT5, run some free expert advisers and earn money, why everyone in the world isn’t already doing it? 🤔

Please explane "forward" mode!! 🙏🙏

Why with the "calculation pips" flag we get 10 times less pips than when the symbol has jpy?

By doing this the balance becomes different between pairs without jpy and pairs who have jpy 😵

Backtest example with 10k initial deposit between EURUSD and GBPJPY

If both get 1457 pips we have a balance of 11457 for EURUSD while 10145.7 for GBPJPY.

It would appear that GBPJPY has a performance = 4.57% against EURUSD = 14.57%

If the backtest is read alone the other parameters are ok because they all have the same pips (ex. profit factor, average profit, etc…) only the balance is wrong but if we do a multicurrencies backtest we have the problem again!

Clear hope 😂😅

thank you so much for this!

Hi! My MT5 doesn’t close trades at targets (sl & tp) and doesn’t show results in money but it works only in pips!?? 😩

Are you able to backrest custom indicators with this?

Thank you for the video! Where do I get that expert advisor file?

Hello, thank you for the info. Coul you please provide me with the expert advisor because i couldnt find it

Could you show how to run the tests using a video card which would greatly speed up the optimization process ?

Hello, how could we include the impact of courtage fees into a backtest ? Thanks

Thank you

Hi I have written an Expert Advisor for USDCAD 1min Timeframe(only open buy trades with sl und tp).
And ja in the beacktesting I choose the last 6 months, it means==>
52 Trades

Can this be true?
