Hi Nievski,

Thanks for upgrading to the Standard license - we know you are a registered user from your email address.

Regarding your query, the most important points when testing the DAX are:

1) Get the symbol settings for your broker's DAX symbol (as you have done).
2) When "Exporting to MT4", load the settings for the symbol (assuming you haven't set them as default) and then ensure you set the "Map to" field as your MT4's symbol name (i.e. GER30 in your case).

If you are getting "Tester cannot calculate prices" and "Order 131" errors, this typically means you haven't done the steps above correctly. Just make sure you have transcribed all the symbol settings correctly before exporting to MT4.

If you continue to have issues, appreciate if you can give us a screenshot of your MT4 Export settings versus your broker's FXT settings for GER30.

Thanks!

Hi Investor_br,

To assist you further, could you please give us the following:

1) The MT4 broker you are using.
2) A screenshot of your File->Export to MT4->MT4 Settings window compared against your MT4 broker settings (as described in this topic: https://tickstory.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=809).
3) A screenshot of the error you are getting.

Thanks.
