Backtesting Dates

Hi

I have paid and downloaded the latest version of Tickstory.

I export the last 2 years data to MT4.

I then run back tester for 2 years but results show the test only ran 8 month despite me choosing 2 years worth of dates.


Please help me.

Hi Onextrade,

Please clarify you are getting 99.9% modelling quality on your back-test as this will confirm you are correctly using the Tickstory exported data.
The other thing is to ensure you have not selected a start and end date in the MT4 Strategy Tester - at least for the moment. People have reported some issues when setting date ranges. Make sure you can confirm the basic setup is working first and you can gradually select other options.

Thanks.
