Re: Historical data for GOLD

The launcher error is resolved if I keep the MT4 open and click the launcher.
However, when I run the backtest the modelling quality is still at 53%.

Is there any setting I may have missed?

Re: Historical data for GOLD

I have download the *.bi5 file into specify folder, but when I ask for export to csv in 4hr.
I get an error stating "Access to the patth 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Tickstory\XAUUSD.csv' is denied.
