Thank you, guys!

One question: why "Filter duplicate ticks" is not set by default?

[tickstory]

Hi Radu,

The Filter Duplicate tick" option is off by default as it could affect some scalping strategies. As such, we decided it's best for this option to be intentionally selected by the user if they know their EA does not need this extra data.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. However, for example in the case of EURUSD the file size of the exported FXT is so much bigger, and maybe it's not fortunate to use "off" as default, because the testable period will be limited because of the FXT file size. The limit is about 4 gigabytes, am I right?

Hi Radu,

That is correct. We've got an enhancement on our todo list to save the last export settings so hopefully this will solve the issue for you.

Thank you very much for your update.

I got an error as in picture below.
what happen with fxt file?

[tickstory]

Hi Tony,

You appear to have asked this question before. Did the post here: http://www.tickstory.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=354 solve the issue?

This error is usually due to not having exported data to the correct MT4 symbol name.
It can also occur if you have not selected the correct "Data directory" in your MT4 setup. TO check this, go to Metatrader and select File->Open Data folder. The folder location that comes up should be the same folder you configure as the 'Data folder' within Tickstory.

Hope this helps.

As in the picture, It's found tick data file but invalid file.

This tick data file is ok when I test with version 1.2 and MT4 version 509.

But it's fail when test with version 1.4.

HI There, I'm using MT4 build 625 and it was working fine until Tickstory v1.3. In v1.4 I'm getting the message that my MT4 is not supported. My backtests aren't 99.90% in modeling quality, they're now "n/a" (however they do run a lot faster). Did Tickstory v1.4 lost compatibility with build 625?

Thank you.
