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.

Check the files just before shutdown/logout, then when you start up again, then when you start MT4 ...

Hi Gooly, Re: your comments: 1) The spread is embedded by Tickstory during the export. It is whatever you specify in the "Metatrader Info" tab.
