Re: Highs and Lows and Time for Candles has turned to Zero

Sorry to put in another post, I've been reading other threads and I've seen you mention that if you export only the time frames you need, that can save space. My EA's work like this. The 1 minute chart uses only 1 minute. The 5 minute uses 5 and 1 minute, the 30 minute uses 30 and 1 minute. Basicall...

Re: Highs and Lows and Time for Candles has turned to Zero

Along with the Ram question, there is one more thing I would like to know. What would happen if I were to run more than 1 MT4/Strategy Tester at the same time? Would that require exactly double the memory and would each one cause the other to be more likely to crash? I mean, if I'm already having th...

Re: Highs and Lows and Time for Candles has turned to Zero

Thanks That's a good idea and I'll see what I can do with it, I'll certainly do things like that in the future, but for now it may not work too well. Basically all I'm doing right now is getting price interactions with the moving averages, distances from the averages and so on. I haven't actually cr...

Re: Highs and Lows and Time for Candles has turned to Zero

I may be getting somewhere. Since the error message seems to say "not enough memory for history", I decided to export only one years worth of data and now testing on the 1 hour timeframe/EA, it's working. Well, at least I know it is getting data from both time frames. So I recon the problem relates ...

Re: Highs and Lows and Time for Candles has turned to Zero

Please tell me erorr 4074 means my computer doesn't have enough memory to process the history data, is that correct? It's annoying, but at least it can be solved. I have about 70 GB free out of 475, so there should be enough. However, my friend told me today that when you use a program to write to a...

Re: Highs and Lows and Time for Candles has turned to Zero

I've just tried it on that new broker and it has done the exact same thing, it worked with the 1 Minute EA, but it didn't work on higher timeframes containing 1 Minute. Also, the history center is completely empty. And I received the error message "data not reached from the least timeframe". I am te...

Re: Highs and Lows and Time for Candles has turned to Zero

I have been trying the latest suggestions. At first I simply got the data working on another MT4, and I managed to process a small few EA's. While I was doing that I went through your suggestion, I logged out, I deleted the data, then I re-exported new data from Tickstory, for some reason it didn't ...

Re: Highs and Lows and Time for Candles has turned to Zero

Thanks I'm trying this stuff out now. In History Center, for the 5 minute candles, when I scroll to the bottom, the furthest back it goes is to 17/4/2020, even though I exported Tickstory data back to 2015. I have noticed that the problem is coming from iBarshift, even though TimeCurrent is working ...

Highs and Lows and Time for Candles has turned to Zero

I'm not sure if this is related to Tickstory data or is it MT4, but I just want to see if anyone has had a similar experience. I have many similar EA's that all return highs and lows, distances and the time of those prices etc. Just recently all of the highs and lows are not being returned along wit...

Re: Can't Export proper data for testing Dow Jones (Update)

Thanks Yeah it can be a real pain, but thankfully I've a bit of experience now in programming and one of the most important things I have learned is definitely related to what you said about eliminating variables. The problem is almost never where you think it is. Isolation of pieces is a difficult ...
