Hi I have used the mt4 setting script and then used the setting it genereated to upload the dukascopy data to my mt4. I have tried to backtest and I am met with several errors in the strategy tester journal.
2013.02.04 05:57:30 openStrategy 0.3903: loaded successfully
2013.02.04 05:57:31 TestGenerator: unmatched data error (volume limit 22 at 2012.10.07 22:05 exceeded) (This error appeared two more times with different volume limits and times)
2013.02.04 05:57:31 TestGenerator: invalid file for 'EURJPY5'
2013.02.04 05:57:31 openStrategy 0.3903: no data for testing
anybody have any idea for a fix? would be greatly appreciated.

Re: backtesting fails
Hi colbygray,
This issue is usually caused by not launching your Metatrader terminal with Tickstory (by pressing F8). Please re-generate your MT4 export and ensure you launch via Tickstory before commencing your back-test. A more detailed description of the back-testing steps is in the help manual (press F1 from Tickstory). There is also a trouble-shooting section that may assist.
Regards.
