Dear Members,

To utilize the Strategy Tester feature in MetaTrader 5, you can commence by launching MT5 and navigating to: File > Open Data Folder.

Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+D.

Open data folder

Once the folder is open, go to MQL5 > Experts.

Then drag your MT5 Expert Advisor into the folder. The EA can either be in .ex5 or .mq5 format.

After the file has been moved, then restart MT5. You’re now ready to start testing your EA in Strategy Tester.

**Note: This will only be applicable on the desktop app and not applicable on the web terminal

Hope this information helps
