Tickstory

Hoping I can get some input from Tickstory support on this? To reiterate, I've got months worth of live testing results. When I backtest over the same period using same EA, same parameters, etc. the backtester results don't look anything like what actually happened when live testing. I'm not talking...

I've been live testing my EA for a couple of months now and so I've got some real historical data to look at. My results in the backtester don't come anywhere close to matching my live forward testing. My EA relies on multiple time frames and I've seen mixed sentiments online as to whether or not MT...

I ran my EA on a demo account for a month on MT4 on the GBPCHF pair and then downloaded the historical data from Tickstory to run a backtest and compare the results. Unfortunately, even though I got 99.90% accuracy on my back test, the results were not anywhere near the same as what actually happene...

OK, so is it safe to assume that the one tick that the tester sees is the first tick of the new bar?

I've coded an EA that only looks at prices when a new bar appears, so to save backtesting time I decided to run my testing in Open Prices Only mode rather than Every Tick mode. Problem is that I get drastically different results between the two modes (0.6 profit factor in every tick mode vs. 2.7 pro...

If I want my EA to look at multiple timeframes, will I be able to accurately test that using Tickstory and MT4?

For example, if I am running on an M15 chart but want to look at the ADX from the H1 chart, will the tester be able to support this?

I'm suddenly having an issue where the backtester will only test 2 or 3 days of data and then just stops. I've downloaded and converted 18 months of data and am trying to do an 18 month backtest. Up until yesterday I had no problem doing this but all of a sudden it just stops after a couple of days....

Thank you very much for your patience, your tips helped me find an issue with my EA. I was looking at the value of past bars in my code, but when I started the tester there were no past bars yet to check, so I was getting an error which became apparent when I looked at the journal. Thanks again for ...

Hello, the only reason I was in the history center is because the tester wasn't working right and I thought I'd pull it up to look around. I had converted about 18 months worth of data for GBPUSD but when I opened the history center I only saw about 4 months of data so I thought maybe I needed to im...

Thanks for those answers. Unfortunately I thought I had my modelling issue solved because I got it to work at 99.9% for a few simulations, but now I am back to not being able to test at all, and I'm not sure why. MT4 doesn't seem to be reading the .hst files generated by tickstory. I stopped getting...
