Question

Hello,

I am seeing this error all the time when attempting to back test in MT4 with EVERY EA I can find. My lot size doesn't matter, tried a percentage of account, I tried every lot size I could before giving up, 1.0, .1,.2,.3 etc.... I messed with max slippage from 3 to 6, not sure that even matters, but what is the deal with MT4 and back testing?  I do have a live account but still not trading because I can't back test my system.

Any help would be awesome, thanks in advance!

I am a new US client so it may have something to do with a kink in the system, I know IG is still working all these things out, but who knows.

I hope you are right, I don't recall anyone posting a similar 131 error message problem before on the forum, I'd also send the helpdesk an email if you haven't already done to request tech staff look into the problem.
