other timeframes (symbols) must they be as well fxt-files?

Hi,

If I start mt4 by Tickstory e.g. at EURUSD-m1 and the EA is requesting Highs and Lows of daily-bars EURUSD (or even GBPUSD) does this EA need the tick-data of the daily chart: EURUSD1440_0.fxt - or would it be enough to have EURUSD1440.hst in the correct folder?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Gooly,

MT4 needs an FXT file during back-test so it will be created/used regardless. As far as I am aware, if you are using the high/lows of a candle it should be sufficient just to generate the HST files.

Hope this helps.
