Tickstory

The latest update is out and it's is a game changer for the MT4 back-testing community! In this version we introduce the "MT4 Launcher" which enables support for databases exported by Tickstory.

Ah, I was afraid people would jump the gun and see the new features! The feature will be available shortly in 0.4b. Hopefully will be released before the end of the week. Note that the launcher will only support up to v432 for the moment, so be prepared.

Glad to hear you solved the issue, Roberto!

Hi Rafachuskas - thanks for the suggestion. Hoping to get a manual out in the next few days that will hopefully run you through a few steps.

Hi roberto,

I haven't yet used Birt's TDS but I'll answer what I can. Firstly, I'm not sure where you see the Ask price increasing - is that in MT4 historical screen? If you could point me to it exactly I can firstly see if its a issue from the data that is being generated by Tickstory.

Thanks!

Please make sure you select the "Generic tick format (comma-delimited)". If you incorrectly select "Generic bar format" when using tick data you will get the result you described (since the system is generating ticks, not bars).

Please let me know how you go.

Regards.

Hi there, tcferreira - Welcome to the forum! The idea behind Tickstory is to provide traders with a platform to acquire their trading market data, store it and then produce exported data for various trading platforms. For the moment, the system supports the easy download of Dukascopy (http://www.duk...

Hi Roberto - Thanks for your feedback. The "15h" you see is actually the specific hourly data that is currently being downloaded, not an estimate on the download time.

Thanks for your suggestion - it has been implemented in the latest version 0.3b. You can download it now!
