Extra historical data at tailend of backtest result

Hi,

I recently purchased the Tickstory software. The version I have is 1.7.4. I am using MT4 build 910.

I was running a 1-year backtest (2/2015 - 2/2016), and I noticed that at the tailend of the backtest result, there is some data that shouldn't belong there, namely some data from 2011 (4/14/2011 to be exact).

Can you tell me why this is so, and how can I resolve this?

Thanks,
Roger

Hi Roger,

I notice that you are using the 'Control points' modelling method - bear in mind that Tickstory only exports data for the 'Every tick' model.
Also, I would suggest you double-check your MT4 History Center to see what data is actually there and whether this information is actually in your dataset. I'm not sure if the Strategy Tester is saying that it has closed orders that were opened in 2011.

Regards.
