How to make the xxxxxx_1.fxt and xxxxxx_2.fxt files

Post by ILIAS »

First of all I would like to thank you for shearing your grate job.
Tickstory, make the back testing pretty easy.
The xxxxxx.hst and xxxxxx_0.fxt files are created just by few clicks.
Could you show me how can I create the xxxxxx_1.fxt and xxxxxx_2.fxt files too?
Best regrads

Hi Ilias,

Thanks for your post and feedback. The xx_1.fxt and xx_2.fxt data files are created when back-testing with the "crude" and "open price" models. These modes are significantly inferior to tick-based back-testing and are not supported by Tickstory. If you wish to get a rudimentary idea of how your strategy is working, you could use the standard Metatrader data history to do this (I would advise setting up a separate Metatrader installation for this purpose).

Hope this helps!
