Hi Ysame,

Doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong. Depending on your timeframe there could be many hundreds/thousands of ticks that are processed before the first bar is formed. You can accelerate the MT4 back-tester by increasing the speed with the glider control near the 'Visual' checkbox in the back-tester. I would suggest having a read through some MT4 forums to find out more about the back-testing process.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your fast replay,i found what i was doing wrong i think this can help future users, on the BackTesting terminal there is an option to choose the date for the back test and i just ignor it and leave it as default but the default date is from 1970 to present day and i just have 1 year of History Data as soon i enter a correct date work perfect. Some time little things make big diference,i hope this will help future user if they have the same issues.

Thank you
Best regards
Ysame
