'Cannot Open' [5] Error

Post by nox120 »

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to TickStory, but I've managed to get the DAX data downloaded and mapped across to GER30 (the symbol my broker uses).

Opening MT4 (build 950) from within TickStory works fine and I get the FXT Overwrite Prevention however I receive the following errors whenever I try to run a backtest.

TestGenerator: [FilePath...]\GER3060_0.fxt cannot open [5]
TestGenerator: [FilePath...]\GER3060_0.fxt is read-only

I've only got one copy of MT4 open, I've closed TickStory and I can't find anything that is locking these files.

If I remove the 'read only' flag from them then the back test runs but it downloads new data from MetaQuotes to replace the TickStory data.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

David
