Hi Hasan,

If you are getting n/a modelling quality, please check the following:

- That you have launched MT4 via Tickstory's 'Launch' button.
- That you have exported your data to the correct MT4 Data Folder (make sure Tickstory's File->Settings->MT4->MT4 Data Folder is the same folder location as Metatrader's File->Open Data Folder).
- That you have correctly mapped your symbol to exactly the same symbol name as it appears in Metatrader (for example, "EURUSDm"). The process of "mapping" symbols is described in the manual.

If you are still having difficulties, appreciate if you can send some comprehensive screenshots of all the settings/information as described above.

Thanks.

Hi Hasan,

The export procedure is:

1) Set up your MT4 (and other) configuration in Tickstory's File->Settings.
2) Export the desired symbol. Make sure you "map" any symbol names if the MT4 symbol name is different in your terminal (eg. EURUSD -> EURUSDm, XAUUSD -> GOLD ).
3) Launch Metatrader by using the "Launch" button in Tickstory.
4) In MT4's Strategy Tester, select the symbol you have exported, ensure 'Tick' modelling type is chosen. Then press 'Start' to start your back-test.
5) Check that your report reads '99.9%' modelling quality.

If you are still not getting this, please send us screenshots of each above-mentioned step so we can help trouble-shoot.

Thanks.

Hi Hasan,

As per our conversation offline, you are now up-and-running. It appears that you needed to 'Launch' MT4 correctly prior to your back-test. Once this was done, you had 99% modelling on your back-test.

Happy back-testing!
