Tickstory

Hello,

When I open "Expert properties" in Tester MT4, I see there are 4 columns: "Value", "Start", "Step", "Stop". What is different between those and should I only focus on settings in Value column or?

Also if I set spread in "Export to MT4" @ Tickstory should I also set spread in MetaTrader 4 or should it be 0?

Hi reQuorter,

The parameters you see are to define the various settings that are defined by your broker. Generally speaking you should not need to change these unless you have specific requirements in your testing. Some of the parameters are explained in the Help manual and in even more detail on MT4 forums.

Regarding the spread, the value that you set in Tickstory will be the overriding value - the MT4 setting will be ignored.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, that clarifies everything for me.

I also got another questions:

When I export to MT4 in Tickstory, Metatrader Info, there is "Currency" & "Margin ccy". What is the difference between those two? If I want to test EURUSD with USD account I check USD for both, right?
Also I got question what is "Free magin mode"?

reQuorter, these are data that depends on your broker.
I recommend using TickstoryInfoExpert.ex4 you can find in C: \ Program Files \ Tickstory Lite
