99% never reached

Post by Rainer Santos »

Hello

I dowwnloaded and exported 3 pairs as described in http://usermanual.tickstory.com/doku.ph ... mt4_export
Never reaches more than 90%.
Attempted two different MT4, reinstalled everything, redownloaded all the data. Folders have all the contents and is overwriting all fine.
Attempted different timeframes and different pairs.

The only error I see in the history is this EURUSD,H1: OrderModify error 130
Would this be responsible for the bad modeling quality. With 4 of this error i got quality 88%

Hi Rainer,

The first thing to do is ensure that you get 99.9% modelling quality from your test. Please have a look at this item in our FAQ as it lists all the possible reasons that you may not be getting this:

https://tickstory.com/help/tickstorylit ... ng_quality

The "OrderModify" error you are getting indicates that your EA is providing an invalid stop price. There could be two reasons for this:

1) You have not correctly set your broker's settings in your export (see https://tickstory.com/help/tickstorylit ... t_settings on how to get your broker settings). For EURUSD, the default broker settings that Tickstory uses should work, however if you are having difficulties, it would be recommended to ensure you match your broker settings before commencing any "real" back-tests.
2) Your EA is not correctly setting the stop price . See Google here for more ideas on how to rectify this in your EA: https://www.google.com/?q=order modify error 130

Hope this helps.

Hello

Thank you for the answer.
After reading the link you indicated, I found out a possible problem.
Mt4 launch is failing. i was not using this function before, but now with two different mt4, from FBS and Activ both recently installed I see the message a launcher could not be found.
I use MT4 version 4.0 bild 1090.

Before I buy the tickstory i used the free version and it was saying was not compatible to this version, thats why I bought the tickstory.
Any idea?

Thanks!

Sorry.
So now I will try everything again.

Thanks
