Re: Problem with back-test

Hi ionico,

From what you're saying you've already seen the basic video tutorial. You can find a more detailed manual by pressing F1 within Tickstory or simply go to this link:

Please let us know how you go!

Thanks.

Re: Add new symbols manually....

Hi 4EverMaat,

Are you referring to adding new symbols to MT4 or Tickstory?

Re: Commission Settings - Instaforex Eurica (cent)

Hi mmsk, We have tried your code on the standard "MACD Sample" EA immediately after the OrderClose() command is sent and it does yield a commission. The only thing that we can think of is to double-check your export parameters by opening the FXT file in the FXT Editor and make sure they are what you...

Re: Error on the dates of the exported files

Hi Rodrigo,

This is likely due to the MT4 FXT size limitation of 4GB. If your FXT file is larger than this you will likely run into some issues.

See this post for some further info on how to work around the limitation:

Re: Backtests not working with MT4 build 625

Hi gpipsforever,

Thanks for getting back. Yes, that is correct - if you wish to launch MT4 in portable mode via the Tickstory launcher you need to provide the appropriate command-line argument (i.e. /portable).

Regards.

Re: Not exporting to csv

Hi mickaswah, If you wish to export to CSV, please right-click the symbol and use the " Export to file " option. The "Download" option merely downloads the data (bi5) files from the internet so you can produce CSV files from it at a later stage via the "Export to file" option. If you are still havin...

Re: Problem with back-test

Hi Ionico, We do not typically test specific EAs since there are so many potential variables when troubleshooting. One thing you should check is that all the "MT4 Info" you are exporting for the symbol is correct. That is, make sure you have correct lot sizes set, etc. If your EA is performing a che...

Re: Issue with back-testing less than 10% modeling quality

Hi FXNegus, Sorry it's not working for you. The issue you have described appears to be due to your exported files not correctly being marked as 'read-only'. Tickstory does not delete the files it generates unless you choose to regenerate them. This means that MT4 (or something else) is deleting them...
