Re: Choosing best timezone for broker (FXOpen)

Thank you.

Looks like I exported with the wrong timezone previously. If I re-export and check 'overwrite existing files', both the HST and FXT will be overwritten with the new timezone right?

Choosing best timezone for broker (FXOpen)

Hello,

I am using FXOpen, which uses GMT +2 and +3 with daylight savings.

When exporting, should I choose +2 or +3?

Daylight savings should be YES right?

Among the many locations for each timezone (athens, jerusalem etc), which one should I choose?

Thank you.

Re: Errors - Request aborted/Remote name not resolved

Hi Huangwh88, Looks like you came across some sort of internet connection glitch and/or overload. Tickstory typically automatically recovers from this error by retrying to download the data. The next time you download the same date range the error should no longer appears. If it does, just ensure y...

Re: control point testing

Hi Huangwh88, MT4 will generated the FXT file for the time-frame you have selected (in your example, H4). This will contain the individual OHLC control points/ticks which are taken from the HST files that are generated by Tickstory. If you make any reference to a time-frame other than H4 in your co...

Re: control point testing

Hi Huangwh88, You are correct - when you select the 'Control point' modelling method in the MT4 Strategy Tester, MT4 will automatically generate the FXT data from the historical chart data (HST files). This means that you will continue to benefit from the Tickstory data you have exported and source...

Re: multiple instances of mt4

thanks for clarifying, tickstory.

One more thing, for the 'Single-User license (up to 2 machines)', if I run one instance of tickstory on my home PC, and 2 more instances on a VPS, will there be issues?

Re: multiple instances of mt4

Hi Huangwh88, This seems like a feasible solution assuming you are running the two Tickstory instances simulataneously. Regards. hi tickstory, Must there be 2 instances of tickstory running simultaneously? Suppose I only have 1 instance of tickstory running, and I complete the data export and launc...

multiple instances of mt4

Hello, I'm using tickstory 1.8.3 and wondering if the following plan is workable. The idea is to have 2 instances of mt4 running simultaneously to speed up the testing process. 1) For mt4 instance 1, fill up the corresponding data and installation folder details in tickstory. Export the data to the ...
