When I export data to MT4 from my tickstory account, I get the following error in the journal when i attempt to use the data, "TestGenerator:symbol GBPCHF period model 0 from 2015 01 01 to 2019 01 02".
I am concerned that the quality of the data is not good. Is there any time limitations on using the tickstory data after I exported to MT4? It has been approximately 3 months since I exported it. Does this message impact the quality of the data?
I am grateful for your assistance.

Re: ERROR Message: TestGenerator:symbol GBPCHF period
Hi Borntosail99,
The message you mention is not an error message. Could you please confirm that you have 99.9% modelling quality on your report? If so, it means that you have performed all the export steps correctly (as outlined in our FAQ, here: https://tickstory.com/help/tickstorylit ... ng_quality).
There is a limitation on the maximum data that Metatrader 4 can handle, however not all users come across problems. Usually if you deselect the "Use dates" field in the back-tester, it will test the entire exported period. If you come across problems, you will need to reduce the size of your exported range (to say 1-2 years).
Thanks.

I do not have 99% quality. I have not gotten 99% for some time now. The Progress bar is bright green and there are no mismatched errors.
I do not know why I am not getting 99% any longer. can you elaborate please

Hi Borntosail99,
In order to assist you can you please provide as much detail of the problem including:
- Have you gone through the 99% trouble-shooting steps described in our FAQ: https://tickstory.com/help/tickstorylit ... ng_quality? In particular, have you pressed the 'Launch' button in Tickstory?

3) Your "MT4 Data Folder" FXT contents (go to File->Open data folder in Metatrader and then browse to tester/history and take a screenshot).
4) The result you are getting in the Strategy Tester.
5) The Strategy Tester "Journal" tab after you have completed a back-test.
Thanks.

Please note, the original post was regarding GBPCHF. I posted here issues I am having with the UK100.
