Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about how TickMaster works for MT4 and MT5 backtesting.
Q
Do I really get a free test?
Yes. Every new account includes 1 free backtest run (max 1 symbol, up to 1 year). Free test results are delivered via email.
Q
Are free test results stored in my dashboard?
No. Free test results are delivered by email only. Paid plans provide job history and downloads.
Q
What happens after I use the free test?
You can upgrade to a paid plan to continue running backtests.
Q
How does TickMaster work?
Create an account, upload your MT4 or MT5 EA, select symbols and date range, then run a backtest in our standardized environment. You can download a ZIP with results.
Q
Do I need MT4 or MT5 installed locally?
No. Backtests run on TickMaster infrastructure, so your local machine does not need to host the test.
Q
Does this reduce MT4 and MT5 testing issues?
Yes. TickMaster is built to reduce the typical friction of long MT4 and MT5 runs by using a controlled, standardized execution environment.
Q
What do I get after a run?
A downloadable ZIP including the main backtest outputs such as HTML report, trades CSV and metrics JSON, depending on the run and plan.
Q
What are the plan limits?
Plans limit runtime minutes, maximum symbols and maximum date range. See Pricing for details.
Q
Can I run multi-symbol tests?
Yes, depending on your plan limits.
Q
Is my EA safe?
EAs are handled in a private workspace. We do not share your files with other users.
Q
Which markets are supported?
TickMaster currently supports a curated list of tradable symbols inside its MT4 and MT5 backtesting environment. Symbol availability depends on the platform dataset maintained by the system.
