Re: 'Advanced Tester' beta now available!

I would like to beta test the Advanced Tester, downloaded and installed it once but without a user manual gave up. Now need download again.

Thanks,

Don

Re: 'Advanced Tester' beta now available!

The link posted above does not work. I don't even know how to use it. How can the beta be going well?

Kindest regards,

Re: [TICKLITE-64] MT4 Export: Allow filtering of duplicate t

I withdraw what I said about maybe needing real volume. Since MT4 does not need it, then even if backtests used it, it wouldn't be used in real time, so again backtests would be unreliable.

Re: [TICKLITE-64] MT4 Export: Allow filtering of duplicate t

Note that in last test, I mad the maximum of the MFI indicator to be 0.01, because there are times that the blue bars are so tall that the other bars aren't able to be seen, so I limited the height. Also note that the indicator bar height aren't as important as the colors of the bars, and the colors...

Re: [TICKLITE-64] MT4 Export: Allow filtering of duplicate t

I read that thread. It talks about both volume and ticks. MT4 uses the number of ticks that come in during a bar as volume. The function is Volume[] or iVolume(Symbol(),Period(),0) to specify a different volume than the current symbol or timeframe. The thread you pointed me to had a question at the ...

Re: [TICKLITE-64] MT4 Export: Allow filtering of duplicate t

Does this affect volume info exported if I filter duplicate ticks? Doing so would lower volume exported wouldn't it? Please advise. Thank you.

Kindest regards,

Re: Don't delete correct existing fxt when exporting

Can you tell me to keep just the one instance of MetaTrader offline and not the others? And also how can I speed up backtesting using ticks in MT4? It takes SO long.

Thanks!

Kind regards,

Don

Re: Don't delete correct existing fxt when exporting

And unfortunately when I lock them manually, TickStory doesn't unlock and replace them when I send from TickStory again. Not only that, if I remove everything from MT4 > tester, it looks like I have corrupt history from TickStory coming in due to an error due to hard disk space. The bad data must ha...

Re: Don't delete correct existing fxt when exporting

Thanks! Also, until then, I am finding every time I need to do a test that the fxt's have to be exported again. You said that they were locked, but I am finding they are not. This is Windows 7 running in a virtual machine. MT4 is located in program files, which may or may not be a part of the proble...

Re: Adding recent tick data

Yeah, I have an issue with this as well. Is there no way to split the fxt files into parts like months and just checksum the month and if it hasn't changed, don't delete the month data for the fxt file that exists. I know it would be a hassle, but I figure if there were a "bookmark" of some sort tha...
