If set files are provided to the adviser, then click the Load button and load the set files, then click ok and repeat the test. In MT5, to install sets, almost everything is the same, you just need to go to the Options section, right-click and select download.

What if the test fails to run?

There are several main reasons:

If you have MT4, then before starting the test, you need to download the history of the tested instrument.

To do this, press F2 and download the entire available quote history for the desired instrument by clicking the Download button

If the problem is with MT5 terminal, restart the terminal and open the chart of the instrument you want to test. After opening the desired chart, rewind the chart to the very first historical data available for this instrument. Then open the strategy tester again and run the test.
