Tickstory

Hi,

I am running some backtests on USDJPY and in 2013 data on every trade it is generating slippage error. Why on every trade in 2013 and only in this symbol:

13:01:01 2013.07.01 00:00 TDS: Slippage opening market order: 0.3 (requested 99.452, got 99.449)

Hi Jag45,

Seems you are using Birt's TDS. If you have the slippage feature enabled, I assume that's what's causing this?
Also refer to the MT4 manual regarding Error 138: http://docs.mql4.com/trading/OrderSend
Make sure your EA is refreshing prices before placing the order with RefreshRates().

Regards.

I am using tickstory's TDS, I purchased the full license. I do not get error on other pairs, only in USDJPY.

Even if I am doing refreshrates, still it is giving the same error. Please help.

Hi Jag45,

Tickstory does not sell the TDS and nor does it charge for 'Tickstory Lite'. Please check what product you have purchased. The only person we know of that vends a product called 'TDS' is Birt: www.eareview.net.
