Re: Converting symbol name

I think I have managed to convert the name by using "Map to" in Metatrader info tab, in symbol properties BUT I still have a problem using this data since I get 2 errors in the log file when running a backtest: 1. " tester cannot calculate prices " and 2. "Tester: exchange rate cannot be calculated"...

Converting symbol name

I downloaded with TS a data for S&P500 which named by TS : US500IDXUSA.
In my marketwatch the symbol for S&P is just S&P.
In that case, the tester does not recognize the data from TS for S&P.

How can I fix that?

Re: Convert tickdata to 1 minute bars

I know the reason for that:
No volume data.
Without volume data, MT4 can't produce the real movement inside each bar.

This data is not useful.

Re: Convert tickdata to 1 minute bars

Does anyone believe this is a true data?

Re: Convert tickdata to 1 minute bars

I read this: http://www.tickstory.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=352&p=1458&hilit=1+minute&sid=f96220ed7f89ff78e2b6a6ef79de52c4#p1458 and there is nothing to do with it. 1 minute bars does not look like true bars. Almost every bar opens in a gap. It's not a useful data at all. Not to mention tickdata...

Convert tickdata to 1 minute bars

I have tickdata but all I need is 1 minute bars, it's accurate enough for me.
How can I convert tickdata downloaded by TS Lite to 1 minute data/bars?

Re: backtest not complete

I see that after a few moments, the account is no longer in "overwrite prevention / fixed spread" mode.
It is in a regular mode like any account.
Is that ok?
