Tickstory

As far as I know mt5 cannot use 3rd party tickdata!
And some people do have the fear the migration of mt4 to mt5 will sometime eliminate this feature

I don't know for sure but if you load indicators by either iCustom(..) or directly like iATR(..) they will need the hst-files.
Your EA needs only the fxt-file of the TF you want to bt.

I can remember that you were asking for a 'public project'. But I don't feel competent enough to be a valid contributor. I even couldn't imagine how this could be done. :( Could it be that there is an another way to use real spread and volume? I don't know whether the idea might work. If you save sp...

Thanks a lot!!

But why don't you have any plans to support real spreads?
As far as I know one can backtest MT4 with 'real' ticks without launching mt4 by Tickstory?
So what are your plans with Tickstory?

The problem is this your paths aren't the default paths since b600+. 1) Most of the files should go not to s.th like: C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\F3FCE634953CAFEE1AF7E348742EF8CB\history 2) C:\Program Files (x86) aren't accessible by normal users!! You can install your MT4 in its...

Have you checked the links and paths (File => Open Data Folder) after launch?
Are the fxt-file(s) write-protected or are they re-written?

May I ask a technical question - due to the changes and the new function coming with b600+. I hope you don't mind! The Volume-Array and IVolume(..) are long. ok. But the MQl4 Reference writes: long Volume[] Series array that contains tick volumes of each bar of the current chart. ... Example: if(i==...

Hi again, Could it be this situation? After I found that the huge fxt-files were copied and save a second time by what ever program to the default install.-folder of an mt4 installation: ..\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\F3FCE634953CAFEE1AF7E348742EF8CB I deleted some sub-folders with in those ...

Hi again, I have tried to find where TickStory stores it's default path (with which it is started) of the mt4-terminal - and failed. :( As I cannot change this terminal-path using the 'official' way I might be successful changing its 'set-file'. Can you tell me - as a temporary workaround - how I mi...
