Re: lost FXT files

Hi Experienced_tester, Thanks for confirming the details. We're obviously asking some questions to ensure there's nothing elementary going wrong here - we haven't seen the behaviour you are describing before. It would be unusual for it to be related to the .NET Framework installation, but we'll wait...

Re: lost FXT files

Hi Experienced_tester, Just to let you know that we have done further tests on this to try export the data to a USB stick in a similar setup that you have described. Unfortunately we are still unable to reproduce the issue you are reporting - the files are correctly marked as 'read-only'. Can you pl...

Re: backtest stops immediatly upon starting

Hi Janko,

Yes, it is mandatory to launch MT4 from Tickstory otherwise it will not use the tick data correctly and you will encounter errors.

REgards.

Re: stopout mode/stopout level

Hi Ninjaturtle,

These parameters are best explained in the MT4 manual:

Re: How can I launch MT4 in command line?

Hi Jarl,

Have you managed to get 99.9% back-tests by following the 'normal' process? If so, it may be that replacing the FXT file in the Init() function doesn't work.

Thanks.

Re: another suggestion

Hi Gooly,

The launcher is compulsory if you wish to use tick data. Without it, MT4 simply generates test data from the 'history' (HST) data files which usually contain 1-minute data.

Hope this helps.

Re: Don't delete correct existing fxt when exporting

Hi Don, Not sure if it's possible to keep the same MT4 terminal offline and online at the same time. You can certainly do this by making another copy of the MT4 terminal folder. Regrding speed of back-testing, here is a topic that you can have further discussion on: http://www.tickstory.com/forum/vi...

Re: How can I launch MT4 in command line?

Hi Jarl, Thanks for your suggestion. At the moment Tickstory doesn't allow launching directly from the command-line. We are considering this as a future feature. The suggestion you made regarding copying the FXT file is a good one. Obviously it only applies to those users who have access to the EA c...

Re: How to change MT4 leverage in strategies tester

Hi Janko,

Leverage is a setting that is used by EAs to make various determinations about lot-size, etc. It doesn't at all affect the tick/pricing data.

Regards.
