Hello,

I apologize if this is explained somewhere and I missed it. But I’m trying to figure out how to combine a backtest from 7 different pairs on MT4.

Would anyone know how to do this?

Looking to get a chart / data of what it would have looked like, if all 7 pairs were being traded on the same account at the same time.

Thanks.

Thanks, but I’m not even sure how to do that? I was following the tutorial and it was having me add via the Data Manager, but the columns were not identifying in a way that would work. Unless the method for this is different?

Hi Keith

I think the solution is:

1.: You should first run the 7 backtests in MT4 and save the reports >>> so you will have 7 reports.
2.: After that open Quant Analyzer
3.: Load the 7 reports
4.: Click on make portfolio (or stg like that…) >>> now you will see the performance of the 7 strategies

Brg, Csaba

First you need to obtain HTML reports from MT4, then you load them into QA and combine

Hi Tomas, is there yet a way to see the combined performance of teh strategies referencing the *account balance* rather than the *strategy balance*?

(I have been using QA to combine the statments but then need to switch to excel to do a compounded portfolio return and drawdown analysis)
