TickStory generates bad data when all fxt deselected

Hi Support, I just need .hst files, and so deselected al FXT tickboxes on the "export to MT4" dialog. This caused .hst files containing garbage (O=H=L=C=1.0) for all time frames. Selecting just the M1 fxt tickbox sorted the issue. On another note, please consider TS saving the last used se...

Cannot launch 2 MT4 instances without restarting TickStory

Hi Support,

There are several issues with launching MT4 from TickStory:

1. The menu dialog hangs around after the MT4 instance is launched.
2. I am unable to start another MT4 instance without also restarting TickStory

Useability - how I (want to use) TickStory

Speed of file generation (was: Performance)

Hi Support, TickStory could do with some kind of database file. If you download a year's worth of data, then try to download the same data again, this takes a considerable time. It really should take no time at all to see if the necessary tick files have been downloaded. There seems to be a serious ...

I just want HST not tick data

Hi Support,

Please consider having the option to NOT produce FXT files, since I generally just need HST files.

BTW, why doesnt TickStory generate Monthly data? One of my clients has a huge reliance on Monthly data

HST File Generation question (was: Performance)

Hi Support,

Does TickStory generate each HST file from ticks in a separate pass, or does it just use one pass (like the period convertor script)? I generate the M1 HST file, then generate all the other timeframes from the preceding lower timeframe file, e.g. M5 from M1, M15 from M5 etc.
