Tickstory

See attached XLSX for detailed analysis of an MT4 data mismatch error isolated to Tickstory H4 Sampling a) download TS data b) export TS data to MT4 c) using MT4 history centre export M1, H4, D1 to CSV d) assemble all the data in attached Sheets Log - shows the MT4 error and the TS download paramete...

Given -export tickstory to MT4 M1, M30 -consider only the M1.hst and M30.hst for this excercise -the timezone setting will slice the available ticks into 1minute bars and 30M bars question 1 mathematically would aggregating ticks for M30 bars be the same as aggregating 30 M1 bars ? I'd say yes as th...

background -i'm running MT4 in batch mode so that makes using Tickstory to drive MT4 problematic. -Also, at this point i'm only using the generated HST files (not the FXTs, meaning i let MT4 generate their modelled version which is good enough for the system, timeframe i'm looking at) issue -im gett...

thanks - would it be possible to post the code to the read the header, no details required, as long as a header can be read the set of header files@period can be written to a single fxt making it look acceptable to mt4... it'd be relatively easy to write external code to take set of header files and...

When tickstory exports to MT4, MT4 requires period specific .fxt files (which is quirky as a single tick dataset should suffice regardless of period). Regardless, though, does tickstory end up writing the same .fxt file with just different filenames (to appease MT4) or are the files themselves diffe...
