Hello,
I'm wondering if you can advise how to use FT to backtest/ optimize my MT4 statement?
I have loaded it into the "statement processor" and run a test which provides the same results as when I traded live. However I wish to vary the data to try different "take profit" values.
I have tried to do this in excel by manually adjusting the "close price" and then imported the data via the statement processor - however as I do not have a "close time" in my data it will not allow me to import it.
Is there a way to import statements without a close time? Therefore allowing different SL & TP values than originally placed?
OR, Can I save my initial test and optimize that? Maybe by turning it into pending orders within FT so I can modify them for further backtesting?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Matt

Hello
Statement processor ignores SL/TP values of opened orders, it is mostly used to see when the orders were opened and closed on charts.
So you need to place a pending orders with new SL/TP manually or change the SL/TP of opened orders manually.
