If you have data before 1999 then you can do it,

I haven't seen data before 1999 in any mt4.

How does the backtests with the latest settings look from 2000 up to now?  Any account wipes?  Is there someone who tried it?

Aeron EA is optimized for January 2009 onwards, back testing is not possible before that.

sorry, subject should say before 2009.  I understand its optimized for 2009 forward, but we should be able to backtest for any time we want.  otherwise how will we know if it wipes out the account?
