    Hi Darren,

    Thanks for detailing the steps to took. To answer your question, you will need to launch MT4 via the Tickstory launcher by pressing F8 within the application. This will give you a modelling quality of 99%.

    Regards.

    Hi Trader2384,

    Are you referring to the ‘read only’checkbox on the FXT files?

    Thanks.

    Hi Ozzy – Windows 7+ does not allow applications to store data in the Program Files folder. As such, you will need to change the location where this information is stored. In Tickstory, go to the File->Settings and set the Dukascopy store location to be something like “C:UsersUsernameTickData”.

    Dudest – many thanks for your contribution and support! We will return the favour when the ‘primo’ version of Tickstory is available 😉

    Kind regards.

    Hi Trader2384 – the launcher prevents MT4 from overwriting the (FXT) data that you export with Tickstory. Without it, MT4 will not use the exported data and will prompt with an error.

    Regards.

    Hi Ozzy,

    If you are using the latest MT4 Build 545 and above, please refer to this post which discusses the beta version of Tickstory that supports these latest builds:

    Hi Trader2384,

    There is an MT4 limitation of how large your exported file can be. Please refer to this post for more: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=348&p=1448

    Thanks, OG. This will be addressed before the official v1.3 release.

    Hi OGFx,

    Not sure if we understood the question correctly but if you are asking whether you can export your existing broker data in your MT4, then you can do this via the History Center.

    Hope this helps.

    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.

    Hi Milanos,

    Have you launched MT4 by pressing F8 in Tickstory? If so, can you try pressing it again once MT4 is loaded to see if there’s some sort of timing issue?

    Thanks.

    Hi Darren,

    To be able to assist you, you are going to have to move to at least Build 509. It is becoming very difficult to cater for all the various builds out there and 509 is the minimum we will test with.

    Also, if you are exporting to CSV first, it should be relatively simple to check the CSV file to see if there is any data pertaining to 2004 (note that we have just tried this and there is no issue). If there is a problem with the export, then we can trouble-shoot further. If not, the only way this data can appear is from your broker or from the further processing you are doing.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Darren,

    A few questions/points to hopefully help you your issue:

    – What is the reason for using such an old Build of MT4? The more recent builds (such as 509) reportedly allow up to 4GB of test data. In addition, we recommend you upgrade your MT4 as we don’t typically test nor support Builds below 432.
    – Why are you exporting CSV files instead of just using the Tickstory Éxport to MT4 function which by-passes the need to use scripts such as CSV2FXT?
    – If you are still having problems with anomalous data showing in your MT4 History/Offline charts, it is possible this data is coming from your broker. As such, you may need to ensure that your terminal is not connected, otherwise the terminal may be trying to automatically back-fill data.

    Hope this helps.

    in reply to: compile – bug #19630

    Hi Gooly – we haven’t seen this occur before. From your description it sounds like it’s a problem with MT4 – perhaps the later Builds have addressed the issue for you.

    Regards.

    Hi 4EverMaAT,

    Yes, at the moment, the “1-second” export is actually a bar-based export which means it will export the OHLC values and not a “snapshot” of the tick data (therefore trying to output tick bid/ask will not work). While we’ll eventually allow this type export, the best workaround may be to export to Excel and then filter it from there.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Marcel – we have tried it on Build 610 and we do not have the issue you describe.

    Bohannonleo – thanks for your feedback. We have provided a Bitcoin and Litecoin addresses if you wish to donate. If you’re not a crypto-currency aficionado, we’ll add our PayPal address details as well (that is, tickstory [@] gmail [dot] com).

    Kind regards.
