5. Run MTester.exe file

6. AutoOptimazer should create folders automatically:

 

Folders:

 

HTML_TESTER optimization reports (with data and time)

LOG_TESTER log files for program

RUN_TESTER log files for experts

SET_TESTER *.set files for optimization

Files in these directories are placed in subdirectories under the names MetaTrader 4 terminals.

 

For example:

 

forex software folders

 

 

 

7. Open strategy tester and create and save .set file with optimization parameters to folder “SET_TESTER” sub folder “your Metatrader name”

File name should be: expert advisor name+'_'+currency+'_'+ timeframe+'.set'

 

For example for MACD Sample.mq4 currency EURUSD time frame H1 file name should be:

MACD Sample_eurusd_h1.set

If the tester (later) will not find it appropriate expert SET file it will display a warning and it will display a correct name for set file.

Example:

If you would like to optimize StopLoss from 4 pips to 10 pips with step 1; TakeProfit from 20 pips to 100 pips with step 1; every 1 day of month on 10.45am. Optimization period 30 days.

You should set:

StopLoss start 4 step 1 stop 10

TakeProfit start 20 step 1 stop 100

OptimEveryTime 10.45

OptimEveryWeek 1

OptimEveryMonth 1

OptimPeriod 30

And save set file to folder “SET_TESTER” sub folder “your Metatrader name”

8. Add StartMTester.exe to Startup

Quick help. Run a program automatically when Windows starts

If you always open the same programs after starting your computer, such as a web

browser or e-mail program, you might find it convenient to have them start automatically when you start Windows. Programs or shortcuts placed in the Startup folder will run whenever Windows starts.

1. Click the Start button , click All Programs, right-click the Startup folder, and then click Open.

2. Open the location that contains the item to which you want to create a shortcut.

3. Right-click the item, and then click Create Shortcut. The new shortcut appears in the same location as the original item.

4. Drag the shortcut into the Startup folder.

 

The next time you start Windows, the program will run automatically.

This tool (AutoOptimizer) can work with several currencies and several metatrader 4 terminals simultaneously.
