Nothing happens when starting back-test (Lite)
Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2018 11:11 pm
Hello, newbie here. Not even sure where to start with the troubleshooting. Here is my setup:
I downloaded data from Dukascopy using SQ Tick Downloader. I changed the Dukascopy datasource tab in settings to the appropriate folder, and I can see view that data in Tickstory.
I'm using Metatrader 4 downloaded from Forex.com, and then I copy and pasted a terminal.exe file that I downloaded to roll back to build 765.
In Tickstory, in the export settings, i'm selecting build 545+, and on the Metatrader info tab I'm changing the "map to" field to EURUSDpro, to match the currency name from Forex.com. Everything else I leave at the default settings.
I try backtesting with the following parameters:
Expert Advisor: MACD Sample
Symbol: EURUSDpro
Model: Every tick...
Range: date range within the export
Period: M5
Spread: Current
I hit the start button, and nothing happens. Any idea what the problem could be? thanks
