Hi Majamivice,

Have you firstly tried back-testing with "MACD Sample" to make sure you are getting some results? If you are testing with your own EA, you will need to refer to the Strategy Tester "Journal" tab to perhaps get further information about what your EA is doing (and why it isn't trading).

A similar thread on this topic is here: viewtopic.php?f=2&p=6039.

Hope this helps.

Hi. Here is my Journal screenshot. I see fxt. file is "read only" if it has something to do with the problem.

And yes, with MACD sample is working. But I have tested with the same EA earlier and it wasn't any problem.

Hi Majamivice,

The message saying the FXT is read-only is normal and not a problem.
Can you please double-check your "MT4 Settings" match that of your broker? You can use this method to compare your settings with your broker:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=809

If your settings are the same, then the next step will be to tweak your parameters to understand which ones are causing it not to trade.

Hope this helps.

Hi Majamivice,

Please start up Tickstory in Administrator mode and try again. The error relates to Windows access rights.

Thanks.

It was the same in Administrator mode. But I have installed Tickstory in another MT4 terminal and it works now. But I have problem with very large files. Is there any way to delete old files to make space on C drive for new ones?

Hi Majamivice,

You can delete old/unused FXT files which are located in the <MT4 Data Folder>/tester/history directory to free some space.

Regards.
