The wti-data is now OK- but my strategy-tester cannot work with it, I do not understand why wti-backtesting is not working at the moment-

Hi Writegvf,

Thanks for your feedback. If you are having any issues with MT4 reporting that it "cannot calculate prices", then please check out this thread:

Still not working with WTI-data; the error-message is as follows:

2014.06.04 18:44:57.066 Tester: exchange rate cannot be calculated

I have downloaded the data with c.rate set to "1" as you mentioned in the viewtopic from above.

Hi Triton,

Can you please post more detail about how it "doesnt work"? Are you getting an error when launching from Tickstory? What MT4 build are you using exactly?

Writegvf - could you kindly follow up your post in the mentioned thread as others may be able to assist. Please let us know also whether you also get the issue for the DAX as this should isolate the issue.

Thanks.

2) I try to upload data on MT4 of different brokers all versions are v4.00 build 646 (about 30 april 2014 or similar) and the others brokers are the same because when connection was established they make me automatic upgrade to this build...

Hi Triton - thanks for the further details. From translating the errors you are getting, it seems that Tickstory cannot get the data from the web for some reason. Could you firstly do the following in Tickstory:

1) Go to File->Settings
2) In the Dukascopy Datasource tab, press the "Test" button. If your configuration and network is correct, you should get an "OK" message. If not, please let us know the error message you get. The "404" error message you gave means that the server could not find the given URL (http://www.dukascopy.com/datafeed/CADJP ... _ticks.bi5), however when we click on it there is no such problem.

Make sure you only download one instrument at a time if you are having difficulty.

Hope this helps.

Hi Tickstory!!

here the steps that i did:

1) I installed Tickstory lite v1.5.1
2) I runned Test on menu File/Options/Dukascopy origin data-Test button
3) I set MT4 correct on istance of TradeFort (than I opened and connected on demo broker account for first installation)

4) I download data from dukascopy
5) I upload your Ea's TickstoryInfoExpert on generic chart of Mt4 and activate usual Ea's options, than i upload metatraderInfo on your software before export data in Mt4

a question.. why i find this files configuration

Mt4.Generic4DigitBroker.mt4config,
Mt4.FactoryDefault.mt4config,
Mt4.Default.mt4config

and not one whit name of broker that i use, in my case Tradefort (like your help indications writes)

6) I closed mt4 and..
5) I exported data on MT4
6) I launched MT4 from Tickstory lite with F8, the mt4 now are not connected on broker

7) MT4 Tradefort open correctly but i can't find data

Hi Triton,

Thanks for the further details. Regarding your question 4), the *.config file for your broker will reside in the <MT4 DataFolder>\tester\files or <MT4 DataFolder>\MQL4\Files depending on whether you have run the Tickstory EA on the chart or from the tester. As such, when loading the *.config file you will need to search for the file in these locations.

Regarding step 7), I am not sure what your screenshot is trying to show. If you are trying to use the data you exported, all you need to do is select the instrument that you exported (EURUSD, for example) and then begin the back-test. The final back-test report should show that you have got 99.9% modelling quality which will indicate that you have successfully tested with tick data.

Hope this answers your questions.

Hi! guys

sorry for my insistance.. i'm trying to configure correctly all steps but...

1) the file .config THERE ISN'T IN TWO DIRECTORY THAT YOU TELL ME...
there isn't in MT4 DataFolder>\tester\files
and there isn't in <MT4 DataFolder>\MQL4\Files

i runned your eas directly on one chart when i installed mt4 first time, i opened a chart and i drugged an drop on it.. likle any EAS

2) than i downloaded data from dukascopy, i selected generic 5 digit file .config (because i can't find the one of mt4 broker configurated = TencoForex)..

i exported (step 1 in the image)
i selected parameters and cross from tester (step 2 on image) because isn't automatically selected when i lunch mt4 from tickstory (F8)
i lunched test and the result is on image attached (point 3 ???)
