Tickstory

See attached image. The problem is in comm type/comm lots.

When using TickstoryInfoExpert.ex4, the comm type is: 1 and comm lots is: 0. This is incorrect. It's $5.50 per round turn, per lot.

The FXT Editor (based on a file from the tester/history folder, created today using some tick data from last day) gets it correct: base comm: 5.5.

I am not sure now if comm. type. 1 or 0 is correct. Can you let me know, and also fix this (major) bug?

Thanks!

Hi RV13,

Thanks for the detailed information. The absence of commission information is not a bug - unfortunately this information needs to be populated manually due to the fact there is no MQL command to acquire information about broker commissions. MT4 apparently has this information available internally, however does not expose it to MQL unless there is an open trade (via OrderCommission()).

Hope this helps.

Understood! Thank you too for the detailed reply.

Maybe something to add to manual (not sure if there is one)?

Hi RV13,

We intend to change the setup process so the absence of this information is highlighted. The manual can be viewed by pressing F1 in Tickstory (or visiting http://tickstory.com/help/tickstorylite). We do not make explicit mention of reviewing the broker commission so thanks for highlighting this.

Kind regards.
