Hello.
I have downloaded history with tick story. But i cant find a way to copy or transfer it to my MT4 platform.
When i use the export feature, it only works once, even if i keep opening the MT4 from the tickstory software.
Once i shut down the computer and turn it on again the export is gone. So every time i need to do a test, i have to use the export.
Thank you.

Hi Tckstr,
If I understood correctly, your MT4 export is "disappearing" every time you try to back-test. If this is the case, make sure:
1) You are not connected to your broker. Otherwise, MT4 will possibly refresh data from your broker upon start up.
2) Ensure you have checked the "Make FXT file read-only" when exporting to MT4. This will ensure MT4 cannot overwrite these files.
3) Ensure you have launched MT4 via Tickstory by pressing the F8 key within Tickstory.
As an extra measure of checks, ensure that one you have exported the data to MT4 that you can see the correct exported date ranges & data within MT4's historical data center.
Hope this helps.
