Re: MT4/tickstory/TDS

thanks for you exhaustive and precise reply. Something is not working on my side. I have followed the guide rigorously and yes the "make FXT read-only box" is ticked. However my metatrader/tester/history folder only keeps files until I close my machine. If I just log out, and never mind if...
