Error in Customising MT4 export settings // Step 5

Post by BeLikeWater »

First of all congratulations for this amazing software you have developed, im impressed with the "help" docummentation added, its all very clear.

I have found an error following the help file in the Section Customising MT4 export settings, following the point 5:

5. The EA will start running and you will be able to see its progress in the "Experts" tab. If there are any errors, they will appear in this screen. Likewise, if the system can't find information on a particular instrument, it will tell you in this screen along with what defaults it has assumed. Once the script has successfully completed, a config file with all the details will be placed in your Metatrader's "experts\files" directory named Mt4.<BrokerName>.Servername.mt4config. For example:


It does show me the next error:

2014.11.24 13:28:27.431 TickstoryInfoExpert EURUSD,M1: Error - could not open file Mt4.Alpari (UK) Ltd..Server.mt4config for writing. Ensure permissions have been granted.

Hi BeLikeWater,

Thanks for your feedback. It is likely that your error is caused by the appearance of brackets in the auto-generated output file name. As such, you shoud manually specify the config filename in the EA parameters. Please refer to this discussion for more on this topic:
