Tickstory

Hi, I've 2 computers with tickstory 1.8.4 installed and because I was seeing so big differencies with my results before, I've decided to switch back to release 910 of MT4. I've done a clean download op 2 years data on each computer using the same configuration settings as well for the download as fo...

Hi, I've been using tickstory now very longtime and recently I'm getting very confused and I don't know what is a reliable result or not. I 've developped a strategy and after optimizing and backtesting I had great results on XAUUSD. working several weeks on this project. This week, I've downloaded ...

Hi, Is there a possibility to read the timestamp of every tick in microseconds ? I need this in backtesting and based on the historical data (not the system time). Until now, all timestamps have an accuracy of seconds but for scalping purposes I need it a higher resolution in milli or even better mi...

Hi Tickstory, I believe a lot of people are struggling with the fact that the downloaded tickdata (history and fxt) are well installed en reliable. Therefore it should be a great thing if some kind of reference routine could be run, for instance an EA that runs over a certain period and that shows a...

Hi, I've added a log-list showing the systematic error with iBarShift. I've changed the color of the record in the list where the problem arises. You will see that one hour is skipped when I go minute per minute back in time over 1440 minutes (= 1 day). The backtester is doing this systematically an...

Hi, I've seen that systematically the metatrader function iBarShift returns the wrong values in the backtester. Here you see my code: previousday_start = iTime(NULL,PERIOD_D1,i); previousday_end = previousday_start + 24*60*60 -1; Print ("yesterday start = ", TimeToStr(previousday_start,TIM...

Hi, I've bought the paid version today because of the great support with my problems in the past. I have a question: when I let the 'tickinfoexpert' run once and the config file is made; are all commissions (for ECN/STP) brokers correctly handled or do I have to edit this manually ? Is it possible t...

Hi, The broker FXCM has recently added 2 digits to the AUS200 index; instead of 5946 it's now 5946.00. Some brokers like Sensus uses no extra decimals; Pepperstone uses 1 decimal; I've noticed that this causes problems again in exporting and optimising. Backtesting does not work anymore. Hope you ca...

Hi Fiver,

I 've also had the experience that there are differencies.
I've also found out the TickDataDownloader is not always downloading perfectly all files; sometimes data are missing.

Hi, I've done an export of the last month for every system. Now I'm getting similar results but still different. I've also noticed that SQ Tickdata Downloader did not exported all files of 2013; Some were missing. To be sure that I'm working with good tickdata, I've took the last month; what's obvio...
