AUDJPY/USDJPY results out by a multiple of 100

Hi TS,

Thanks for the quick reply.
Another problem arise is that when testing AUDJPY and USDJPY, the back test result is roughly 100 times more the optimization result.

Say the optimisation of a EA say $100 profit , but the backtest end up with $10,000 profit , which I believe is not true.
I have checked the setting which is the same as before and no problem. It seems the problem happens with the new TS new version?

Thx
Dennis

Hi Dennis,

There only change made in 1.9.5.3 that could potentially affect your MT4 back-testing is a minor change to tick-count volume (see our changelog).

Since your MT4 has presumably automatically upgraded to Build 1260, you might want to check that nothing has been changed there. Just check the prices look correct and that any other multipliers haven't been altered (in your EA settings, for example).

Hope this helps.
