Tickstory

Hi, Since writing my original post below, I have looked around the forum and can see that there have been several requests for this or similar where the run can be invoked with a command line interface. Would it be possible to give an approximation or some kind of indication when you will be targeti...

Hi

I have an MT4 EA which launches another instance of MT4 using Shellexecute to perform the backtest.

Is there a way to get it to laugh with the Tickstory routines so it can get 99% ?

Any future plans ?

I'd appreciate your thoughts - it may well be a dealbreaker for me.

Much Appreciated

I was looking thru my registration emails from IG and came across "Your account We have set up this account with a base currency of GBP." It goes on to say that the base currency can be selectable by calling them (GBP is my home currency). Perhaps that is a clue as to why you do not see the symbols ...

Hi, I already tried to circumvent, but it is too complex and invasive. I'd rather not have to. I don't believe the (£) suffix is specific to the symbols I mention. Pretty much all of their symbols are suffixed (£). I don't have IG-DEMO, only IG-LIVE in the history folder, so I will send the symbols....

If I then change that in the FXT Edit to (£) and save it, then re-read it, it returns XXXXXX(?). However, if I th...

My Broker uses (£) as its suffix for its symbols. When I export to MT4 and use the "MAP TO" to set to XXXXXX(£) at the end. When MT4 uses the data the EA call to Symbol() Returns XXXXXX(?) i.e. ? instead of £. I Get this mapping Brent Crude to UKOIL(£) and Nikkei 225 to JPN225(£).

Is this a bug ?

Yes precisely that. Thanks

Looking at DukasCopy website, I see there is historical Stock data there for many countries.

Can I get hold of these using TickStory ?

Hi Is it possible to have some kind of scheduling to allow automated downloads ? So that, every week, I would like to download certain tick data at a given time. Ideally the solution as being able to pass parameters externally, so that it can be scheduled using Windows Scheduler using a command line...
