Hi Magi, If your symbol in MT4 reads exactly 'EURUSD' then you should not need to do anything. If it had read "EURUSDm" or something similar, you would need to specify this in the "Maps To" field. If you are still having problems, the next step is to ensure that you can see the data for your exporte...

Hi Tickroll,

Thanks for the suggestion. There have been requests to make a command-line version of the launcher which should hopefully provide similar functionality.

Hi Oneandonly,

No, this doesn't make sense. I would be analysing a specific trade and printing out all the relevant values (spread, bid/ask price, etc) to make sure everything is as you expect.

Hi Evveric - The OHLC currently always takes the bid price to construct the bar data. We will make this configurable in the future so you can choose either.

Thanks.

Hi Fran,

Yes, for the moment the F8 button only launches the one MT4 terminal you have configured in your settings.

Hi Gooly,

From the thread you mentioned, it looks like you got your answer?

To answer your other question, you should be able to use tick-based FXT files generated by other applications with the Tickstory launcher.

Hi Jdaniele, Thanks for logging a problem report. We've reproduced the issue and it appears related to the fact you are not exporting at least one FXT time-frame. The workaround for the moment is to ensure at least 1 FXT time-frame is selected. We will work on addressing the issue in the next versio...
