I am clueless on why the strategy Tester Bid price should pull the current Live Bid into the Strategy tester.


As a work around I can use Close[0] as a fix, but would like to know why Bid, is not useable. It then brings into question backtesting of Bid in EA calculations.

Idleness is the Stimulus to Progress. Semiautomatic Marking a Template

Among the dozens of examples of how to work with charts, there is a method of manual marking a template. Trend lines, channels, support/resistance levels, etc. are imposed in a chart. Surely, there are some special programs for this kind of work. Everyone decides on his/her own which method to use. In this article, I offer you for your consideration the methods of manual marking with subsequent automating some elements of the repeated routine actions.

In my experience it doesn't . . . maybe you can explain why you think it does ? and perhaps show at least a little code ? what are you using to get the Bid price ?

It doesn't. I've never used Close[0] only Bid and Ask. Post your code.
