MQL5-SyntheticTestHarness
A lightweight synthetic testing engine for MQL5 using dependency injection, mocking, and event-driven architecture. Proof of concept. Part 1 of the Institutional Architecture series.
Installation
We provide a PowerShell script to easily link this project to your MetaTrader 5 Data Folder so you can edit files here and have them instantly reflected in MT5.
Open PowerShell (as Administrator if Developer Mode is not enabled) and run:
.\Install-Symlinks.ps1 -Mt5DataFolder "C:\Path\To\Your\MT5\Data\Folder"
(You can find your Data Folder by opening MT5 and clicking File -> Open Data Folder)
Running the Tests (Example script)
After linking, open MetaEditor, navigate to Scripts -> SyntheticTestHarness and compile TestSpreadSpike.mq5.
Then, in MetaTrader 5, drag the TestSpreadSpike script onto any chart to see the test runner execute the synthetic scenarios in real-time.
