Tickstory

Hi Tickroll,

If you are using 'Open price' modelling then all you should need to do is select it in the back-testing menu.
Re: 1-minute data, Tickstory will automatically export this time-frame when you select it in the MT4 Export window.

Hope this helps.

I can imagine that you may well get this response. Metatrader 4 is not designed for the sort of high-end tick-level back-testing that Tickstory tries to facilitate and as a result, some compromises are necessary if you want to obtain tick-accurate back-tests. If you were to source your back-test dat...

Hi Ea.maxpro.vn, We have tried the following code and it works fine: double rsi5; double rsi15; double rsi60; rsi5 = iRSI(NULL,5,14,PRICE_CLOSE,0); rsi15 = iRSI(NULL,15,14,PRICE_CLOSE,0); rsi60 = iRSI(NULL,60,14,PRICE_CLOSE,0); Print("RSI 5m: " + DoubleToStr(rsi5, 4) + ", RSI 15m: " + DoubleToStr(rs...

As mentioned, we are not privy to the inner workings of MT4 nor can we help if there is an issue/limitation in MT4 itself. We could obviously assist further if there was a bug in the Tickstory software but this does not appear to be the case. Our best recommendation is to ensure you work within the ...

Hi Adeller,

Unfortunately we don't have any firm dates at this point, however we would like to have a beta release in the next 1-2 months. The code is being entirely re-built so it is taking some time.

Hope this helps.

I doubt it as this makes no difference to the size of the FXT file. You can reduce the size of the FXT file somewhat by checking the "Filter duplicate ticks" option in the MT4 Export window. Of course, you should only use this option if you know your EA wont be affected by the filtering of this data...

Hi Voly, Have you tried to print an error message to the screen to see if the EA is running? Does the progress indicator on the Strategy Tester move at all? Try creating a simple EA by copying and pasting the following code in a new MQ4 file and see if you see the output in the Tester's 'Journal' wi...

The Metatrader FXT file size remains the same once you have finished exporting the data from Tickstory. It could be that the behaviour you're seeing is a result of MT4 trying to find the date you specify by locating an offset within the file and this number is sometimes too large to handle. Hope thi...

Hi Render86,

Is your FXT file larger than the maximum size? If so, please try reducing the size of it and see if it eliminates the issue for you. Given that we are not privy to the internals of MT4, we can only suggest workarounds to any issues you are experiencing.

Thanks.

Hi DaemonMX, Tickstory allows you to specify the "raw" values that are embedded into the Metatrader FXT which are as follows: Comm type : The base commission type - either Money (set to 0), pips (1) or percent (2). Base comm : The commission value - this is the amount of Money (if Comm type is 0) or...
