Re: Data gaps and bad ticks - error source?

thanks for the reply.

How about the "include weekends" option? I still don't quite understand what it does even after reading the faq

Re: Data gaps and bad ticks - error source?

agree that a analysis feature for highlighting gaps will be very useful. I've been using the "export to mt4" in tickstory and what what i missed (comparing it to csv2fxt) is that there's no logs telling me if there are any gaps in the generated fxt/hst. Also, may i know how to use the &quo...
