Hi Keithreport,

Yes, support for Build 1220 was added in v1.9.5.1 (i.e. the launcher for Build 1212 also works for 1220). If you click on your download link you will get the latest version if you don't already have it.

If you continue to have issues, please check out our FAQ which may also assist:

Please let us know if there are any further issues.

Thanks.

The launcher error is resolved if I keep the MT4 open and click the launcher.
However, when I run the backtest the modelling quality is still at 53%.

Is there any setting I may have missed?

Hi Keithereport,

Make sure you have "mapped" your symbol to whatever the name of your symbol is called in MT4. For example, if your symbol is called "EURUSDm" in MT4, please ensure you fill in "EURUSDm" in the "Map to" field (without quotes).
The "Map to" field is described further in the manual.

Other potential reasons for not getting 99% modelling quality are listed here:

If you are continuing to have issues, please send us a screenshot of your export settings and the result you are getting in MT4 so we can assist further.

Thanks.

It worked. Thanks!

Now that I am backtesting all the time. I am wondering can I update my existing *.fxt files instead of replacing it with a new copy every time I download the update from Duke

Regards
Keith

Hi Keith - great to hear!

Incremental updating of databases is something we have on our dev todo list. There's a little bit of "internal plumbing" we're working on at the moment to make this happen.

Thanks.
