All that data in the TickStory directory
Posted: Tue Nov 29, 2016 1:12 pm
hi,
I have two questions:
After exporting the data to my MT4 Platform Im left with what it seems a duplication (in size) of the exported data in my \Tickstory\Historic Data directory. Is this data necessary to operate the backtests in MT4 after the the data has been exported ? I ask because Im running on real disk usage problems here. My Hard-disk has a 2TB capacity, all my other stuff needs only about 200 GB or so and the rest (1.8GB) is already not enough to all the historic data files Im handling. So the question is if I can delete these files at the \Tickstory\Historic Data directory or if in the other hand there is any advantage in keeping them ?
Second question is if after exporting an historical file to MT4 if I can use the files already on disk to export it further to a CSV file. I´m doing it right now but it seems that TickStory is downloading the data again consuming again the time and bandwidth to do it.
Thanks for your help and clarifications!
