Spread is NOT calculated on backtest!

[lukemp3]

hi tickstory
I do confirm i always use tickstory launcher for fxt created with tickstory and csv2fxt script both.
I do confirm i'm using the last 1.5.1 version.


Here I found the solution (temporary) to let the fxt files created with your tool to consider and calculate swaps!
Naturally, you have to fix this bug

anyway
when you want to create fxt, and load the mt4config file from the broker, the field "swap enable" is 1. enabled.
after creating the fxt, if I open the tickstory fxt with your fxt editor I will see "swap enable" is zero!
This is the reason why the swap was not calculated into backtest.
So, I will modify field in "1", and save it.
Then I will reopen the same fxt to check if swap enable is 1.

After that, my backtest will give same result of "csv2fxt" way.

about images....some little diff on swaps worth...
gtc pending in csv2fxt is enabled, but in tickstory not.
Anyway, but the backtest give the same identical results. so no prob. ^____^

Hi Lukemp3,

Thanks for the further information. We can confirm that this is indeed an issue when exporting the 'swap enable' field. The issue will be addressed in the next release. Until then, the workaround is as you describe - you will need to edit the FXT information manually.

We'll update this thread when the fix is available.

Kind regards.

FYI, this issue was addressed in v1.5.2.
