Hi,
I would like to backtest USD JPY on every tick.
I downloaded just like I did with EUR USD(which works).

But now with U/J I get the following message:
TestGenerator file (...) is read only
/ cannot open


Edit:
I've seen that some people had the same issue, with other symbols
I am using Ic markets as broker, and the symbol is quite general written (USDJPY).
I downloaded a full year of data, on all timeframes (so I must have the minimum 100 bars for 4h).

Why does in my tester > history folder a file appears, that is so different to all?!
USDJPY240_1.fxt?! all others are like USDJPYxxx_0.fxt
This is only for the timeframe, that I wanted to use for my bt.

Interesting, now I found out that the tickstory software didn't download any USD JPY data at all.
How is this possible?!


Is the free version limited to EUR USD only... or is there another problem?!
