Example i have export history data from 1 Jan 2015 to 31 Dec 2015 to my MT4.
And i want to add a new data that's from 1 Jan 2016 to 31 Jan 2016, so that i can have history data from 1 Jan 2015 to 31 Jan 2016.
But after i export the new data to MT4, my old data 1 Jan 2015 to 31 Dec2015 is missing.
Do i really need to export from 1 Jan 2015 everytime i want to update my history data?

Hi Irythee,

That's correct. For the moment, you need to export the entire period for which you wish to update. We are still working on a feature that would allow incremental updates.

I used the link that came with my purchase but it says Tickstory_v1.7.4.zip (Not Available)

Please help

Hi,

I have the same problem. Using the link that was sent when I purchased says the latest version is not available.

How can I download the latest?

Thanks

Hi Adaptivefx,

Could you kindly try again?

Thanks.

Hi Folks.

Why does it mention support till version 830 odd when i try to purchase TickStory? Is this a reason for concern or is it just that the page is not updated?
Awaiting your response prior to taking the leap.

Hi Hisham,

Thanks for pointing this out, it has now been updated. We maintain information about MT4 Build Support on this page now:

Hi Team,

I followed the steps given in http://tickstory.com/articles/tickstory ... -released/
To summarize :-
(1) Launch MT4 via TickStory
(2) Assign required spread to the Spread tab
(3) Select Control Points model
(4) Click on Start and wait till the backtesting starts
(5) Stop backtesting, select Every tick model
(6) Click on Start once more again

Unfortunately I do not see the set spreads taking effect in backtesting. Testing on weekends has this effect?

For example if a sell stop was set at 1.10734
And the spread is 10
I would expect the sell to be triggered at 1.10744.

Looking at the results tab though, i see that the orders are being fulfilled at the pending order price - 1.10734 (without taking into account spread).

Please advice.

Regards,
Hisham

Hi Hisham,

You can definitively test the current spread value by inserting the following code into your EA:

Print("Spread (MODE_SPREAD): " + DoubleToStr(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_SPREAD)));

Just make sure that when you perform Step 4) that you have waited sufficient time for the back-tester to begin (on slower machines it sometimes lags and therefore does not update the spread).

Hope this resolves the issue for you.

Could you email the download link again?
Thanks
