Hi Sir,

I changed spread from MT4 strategy tester. But from other posts in this forum, I found that:
“to correctly use Tickstory’s tick data, you will need to launch MT4 via Tickstory. If you wish to change the spread, you will need to edit the FXT file with Tickstory’s MT4 Editor. The MT4 spread drop-down option will have no effect.”

So maybe the spread is big issue. I have not change the spread propely?

then how to edit spread with tickstory Data? could guide me with the step by step?

thank you very much!

Best regards
crane

Hi Tickstory team,

Thank you very much for the advice!
finally I worked out the solution to get 99.9% quality of the back test with your data.

Unfortunately, the back test results with 99.9% is quite different from the real live trading results.
To solve it, I tried the different spread. But the results are still quite far from the real live results.

the broker is AFX (STO). same EA with the same period, the BT test result is much worse than real live results. and the trade open and close time are also very far from the real live results.

could you kindly please suggest what happened? tickstory data source is OK?

thank you for the advice!

Best regards
crane
