Tickstory

Hi all, sorry my english. I have a problem with my EA. Here it is: I use this manual:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GvkCdAF89Y
I start the back-test, but he is instantly ends. No trades. Here is it log-file: Default EA's (MACD, moving) is OK, i have 99.90% quality with default EA's. But i have problems with my EA.
I use MT4 B625, alpari.ru broker, server Alpari-Ecn-New, account type demo.ecn-new.mt4.
Question: connection must be OK or without connection with broker server?

With standart strategy tester - OK. With Tick Data Suite - OK. But with Tickstory Lite - problems.

Hi Ionico,

We do not typically test specific EAs since there are so many potential variables when troubleshooting. One thing you should check is that all the "MT4 Info" you are exporting for the symbol is correct. That is, make sure you have correct lot sizes set, etc. If your EA is performing a check on one of these parameters then it could immediately be exiting.

The other thing to check whether the EA is logging an error. We did try to run your EA once which caused a zero-divide error. Trying to trouble-shoot this without the code is not straight forward, howeverif you are saying that you have produced a successful export from Birt's script, then the first step would be to cross check the parameters you have used with that of your Tickstory export.

Hope this helps.

OK, i will solve the problem. I will write here about my back-testing. One question. Can you recommend me a tutorial? Thank you very much.

Hi ionico,

From what you're saying you've already seen the basic video tutorial. You can find a more detailed manual by pressing F1 within Tickstory or simply go to this link:

I use your recommendations. Also i use TickstoryInfoExpert. Still can not test this EA... zero divide error... other ea - OK.

Hi ionico,

Sorry but since we don't have the source code for the EA we can't tell you what's causing it. If you have another EA with source code where you see this happening, there may be a better chance of determining what the problem is.

Thanks.
