MT4 Backtesting - How to use your own FXT files (NOT MT4 generated data)

OK, so you may have some tick data in FXT files that you’d like to use for backtesting, but each time you start the test, the files are overwritten.

Here’s a quick workaround. Place the FXT files in your tester/history folder, and rename them all with “x” in the front.

 

Then add this simple code to your EA before start() function..

What is does is after the MT4 generates the new FXT file, it copies your file over the MT4 generated file, and then it will proceed with the testing using your data.
