DAX backtest problem (back-test stops)

H!

I downloaded the Dax data from 1.1.2017 till today. When I backtest a EA the backtest stops at the first buy/sell and does not work further. If I use the data from mt4 by deleting the data in the history folder it works. The backtest also works for i.e. ERURUSD with the data from 1.1. till today from tickstory

Please help. Thanks. best regards.

Hi Nighttrader,

Looks like you might be coming across MT4's 4GB FXT limitation. Please check out our FAQ here for some suggestions of how to work around this issue:
