Problem to convert info XAUSUD to GOLD.

[Rodrigo Paitach]

Hi tickstory,

I would like to know the following, when I exported the information from peers, the program did not export the metal like GOLD, as the broker calls. I tried to export anyway, but I get an error when calculating the values ​​of the ticks in the test. The program should recognize as brokers call the gold, silver and other, happens very XAUUSD, XAGUSD and others. What can I do to fix this?

I anticipate my thanks for your attention.

Hi Rodrigo,

To map XAUUSD to GOLD, you need to use the 'Maps To' field in the MT4 Export screen on the 'Metatrader Info' tab.
Step-by-step:

- Select the XAUUSD symbol in Tickstory and then selecting File->Export to MT4
- In the 'Metatrader Info' tab for the symbol XAUUSD, enter 'GOLD' in the Maps To field.
- When complete, you should be able to test in MT4 under the symbol 'GOLD' which will actually contain the data for XAUUSD.

This feature is also described in the user manual.

Regards.

Thanks, I will try!
Another question, when I use one timeframe in my strategy, I need to export all timeframes?

Hi Rodrigo,

You only need to export the FXT timeframe for the time-frame you wish to test in.
