Cross-Timeframe Calls

Post by Trader2384 »

Hi,

My program simply displays the daily candle high no matter what timeframe the chart is set to. It works on the broker's historical data and I thought I had it working with Tickstory several weeks ago but now when I run the ea, it does print any values on the chart and, strangely, the tester template does not load and the chart does not autoscroll. If I uncheck "read only" status on the tickstory data files, the program works but the files get overwritten with broker's historical data.

Thank you in advance :)

Hi Trader2384,

You can verify if the daily data is exported simply by going to File->Offline chart->EURUSD (Daily) within MT4.

Hope this helps.

thanks, that's good to know. I did that but the date range listed is shorter than the date range that I downloaded in tickstory. For example, I downloaded 15-minute and 60-minute data for EURUSD from 2003.08.18 through 2014.02.01 and the tickstory window as well as 9Gb file sizes confirms this. However, in mt4 offline data it shows same start date from 2003.08.18 but earlier end date to 2008.01.18. In attached screenshot, chart goes until 2008.08.01, tester template does not load and journal says "no data for testing". Any ideas? Thanks :)

Hi Trader2384,

There is an MT4 limitation of how large your exported file can be. Please refer to this post for more: http://www.tickstory.com/forum/viewtopi ... 348&p=1448
