Cannot open mt4 for backtesting

Post by delvinongyj »

Hello

I am facing issue clicking on the "open MT4 for backtesting" button from tickstory.

After clicking in, it says "A suitable launcher could not be found”

I am using ICMarkets

Version for tickstory is 1.9.6.1
Version of MT4 is 4.00 build 1320 11 Dec 2020

Please advise.

Current testing from MT4 strategy tester directly does not yield 99.90% only 30-40%.

Hi Delvinongyj,

Sometimes the launcher may raise this message if MT4 takes too long to start. If you click on the launch button after MT4 has started, this may resolve the issue. Other things to check are mentioned in our FAQ here.

For the modelling quality, please check out our FAQ here and some of these previous threads which should assist you:

Thanks.
