Tickstory

As mentioned, we are not privy to the inner workings of MT4 nor can we help if there is an issue/limitation in MT4 itself. We could obviously assist further if there was a bug in the Tickstory software but this does not appear to be the case. Our best recommendation is to ensure you work within the ...

Hi Adeller,

Unfortunately we don't have any firm dates at this point, however we would like to have a beta release in the next 1-2 months. The code is being entirely re-built so it is taking some time.

Hope this helps.

I doubt it as this makes no difference to the size of the FXT file. You can reduce the size of the FXT file somewhat by checking the "Filter duplicate ticks" option in the MT4 Export window. Of course, you should only use this option if you know your EA wont be affected by the filtering of this data...

Hi Voly, Have you tried to print an error message to the screen to see if the EA is running? Does the progress indicator on the Strategy Tester move at all? Try creating a simple EA by copying and pasting the following code in a new MQ4 file and see if you see the output in the Tester's 'Journal' wi...

The Metatrader FXT file size remains the same once you have finished exporting the data from Tickstory. It could be that the behaviour you're seeing is a result of MT4 trying to find the date you specify by locating an offset within the file and this number is sometimes too large to handle. Hope thi...

Hi Render86,

Is your FXT file larger than the maximum size? If so, please try reducing the size of it and see if it eliminates the issue for you. Given that we are not privy to the internals of MT4, we can only suggest workarounds to any issues you are experiencing.

Thanks.

Hi DaemonMX, Tickstory allows you to specify the "raw" values that are embedded into the Metatrader FXT which are as follows: Comm type : The base commission type - either Money (set to 0), pips (1) or percent (2). Base comm : The commission value - this is the amount of Money (if Comm type is 0) or...

Hi Adeller,

If you have the web data source for this information we could potentially add it. If you have data in a file-based format such as CSV, then loading files is a feature we plan to have in the next major version of Tickstory.

Hope this helps.

Hi Render86,

It is more than likely you are coming across the FXT size limitation that MT4 has. See this post for details:

Hi Ianmae, As a newbie, we would recommend you refer to the section on "Customising MT4 export settings" in the Tickstory manual (see http://www.tickstory.com/help/tickstorylite/). The instructions will tell you how to export your broker's terminal settings (such as leverage) into a config which can...
