Testing stop Because product is demo

[funkhunter]

Free version EA is no problem.
But demo version EA has problem.

Strategy test was stopped with this message "Testing stopped Because product is demo".
But it's different between "MT4 Record Center Data" & "Tickstory Tick Data"

Strategy test with MT4 record center data :
"Testing stopped at 2015.12.24 Because product is demo"

Strategy test with Tickstory tick data :
"Testing stopped at 2015.07.31 Because product is demo"

Tick data test period is much shorter.


Why are they different?
Is tick data given more disadvantage than record center data?

Hi FunkHunter,

My guess is that the author has implemented some mechanism based on the number of incoming ticks before the product expires - obviously there will be more ticks in Tickstory data and therefore the product would expire sooner. If you have any additional queries on this, the best bet would be to contact the author.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

But all demo EAs of "MQL5.com market" are testing stopped at 2015.07.31.
So, I think authors didn't implement it. Maybe MQL5.com or Metaquotes.com have implemented it.

Perhaps they provide a library so authors can implement this demo functionality. Unfortunately we're not familiar with it though.
