Tickstory

Hi annobln,

The exclusion of weekends occurs by default in the latest version 0.7 [TICKLITE-46]. You can enable the export of weekend information by checking the "include weekends" checkbox.

The manual has been updated accordingly.

Hi Thomas, Since your MT4 broker is not using the standard "EURUSD" symbol name, you will need to tell Tickstory that it needs to be translated to "EURUSDi1" instead. You can do this by the following steps: 1. Select the EURUSD symbol, right-click and select Export to MT4 . 2. Select the Metatrader ...

Hi offgridforex, Thanks for the further detail. Will look into this shortly, however could you please clarify your final post? Are you having similar issues with TDS? Also, are you generating the FXT file directly via Tickstory or firstly generating a CSV file that you are then processing with CSV2F...

Hi mainw, Thanks for the suggestion. At the moment since Tickstory sources its information only from Dukascopy, there is no need to perform integrity checks since the data is assumed to be complete.
