I set up Tickstory and a test MT4 installation fine and it runs an every tick backtest fine on the sample MT4 EAs.
I made an EA using Forex Strategy Builder and exported it as and .EX4 file.
It backtests fine using 'every tick' on an MT4 installation using my broker's price data.
But it won't backtest and displays errors on the test MT4 version launched from Tickstory.
I have included screenshots of it running fine on my broker's MT4; of the error messages on the test MT4 launched from Tickstory, and the .hst files exported from Tickstory.
Any guidance much appreciated.

But the sample EAs supplied with MT4 run fine. What is the problem, please?

Hi Vidagig,
The error you have displayed on your screenshot relates to the fact that you have not enabled DLL calls in your MT4 configuration. Once you correct this (please consult the MT4 manual if you're not sure) it will resolve the two red 'x''s in your log.
Regards.
