in reply to: Historical data date range for Dukascopy data #18697

Hi eromawyn,

Thanks a lot for the update on this topic and for the suggestions. Regarding the features you mentioned to make downloading easier, these items are in the pipeline in the revamped version of Tickstory.

Regarding the futures & commodities that Dukascopy are offering, I could not find any reference to them. Would you have a URL that mentions this? The only commodities we’re aware of is Gold and Silver and these are provided in the application.

Thanks!

in reply to: export to mt4 – v0.8.1 #18764

Hi slk,

Thanks for the further detail on this – we have managed to replicate the problem. The issue relates specifically to your Turkish language setting which is causing an error when reading the config file. We have fixed the issue and it will be available in the next release (coming this week).

In the mean-time, the best workaround is just to switch your locale to English temporarily when starting Tickstory.

Hope this helps.

Hi slk,

Could you please tell us what O/S you are using along with any regional settings that you have set? If you have any other information you think is useful then please let us know so we can try reproduce the issue. It would be handy if you could remove the ‘ACCOUNT_BASECOMMISSION’ line from your config file and see if that helps.

Thanks.

Hi Raden,

Could you please provide further information about the error you are getting? Have you ensured that Microsoft .NET v3.5 has been installed on the machine? Perhaps this post will assist: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=71

Thanks.

Hi slk,

Thanks for the further information. For some reason it looks like your config files are not correct – the account information does not contain valid details. Did you happen to edit or try change these files at some stage?

I have attached a “default” version of the MT4 config to this post. Could you please overwrite your existing Mt4.Default.mt4config with this one and then review your MT4 settings again? The values that are set in the file should be shown in the ‘MT4 Info’ screen when you try to export.

Thanks.

in reply to: backtest not complete #18749

Hi Dogfight,

The issue you are seeing is due to a limitation that MT4 has with not supporting databases (FXT files) greater than 2GB. At the moment, so you have a few choices to workaround the issue:

– Break your back-test down into say yearly exports.
– Turn on the “filter duplicate ticks” option – this will reduce the size of the database allowing you to test a longer period.
– Use Tick Data Suite (a third-party product) which supports > 2GB FXT files. (You can find out more here: http://eareview.net/tick-data-suite?hop=referrer9)

Hope this helps.

Hi slk,

You might want to review the ‘Metatrader Info’ information that is being written for EURUSD to ensure it is correct. Given you seem to have some issues with your config file, I would recommend you try to Load the “Mt4.FactoryDefault.mt4config” that is provided with the application. This should reset all your settings to working values. You should also ‘Save as default’ if you want to ensure these settings are applied every time you perform a MT4 export.

After that, try back-testing again and see if it resolves your issue.

Please let us know how you go.

Thanks.

Hi slk,

It sounds like your .mt4config file contains invalid data. You should be able to resolve it by clicking on the ‘Metatrader Info’ tab, reviewing the details and then ‘Save as default’.

If you are continuing to have an issue, please attach your Mt4.Default.mt4config file so we can troubleshoot further.

Thanks.

Hi Daan,

Thanks for taking the time to explain your suggested feature in detail. It has been added to the list.

Hi apu,

Usually when you get a modelling quality of “N/A”, it indicates that you have not launched Metatrader via Tickstory. Can you please check again as I have followed the steps you have described above and there is no issue.

Thanks.

in reply to: daylight savings #18721

Hi Apu,

If your broker’s server adjusts their time according to New York trading times, then there is a timezone called “New York trading hours” which is the first timezone in the list. This is probably the best representation of the timezone your broker is trying to match. More discussion on the topic can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=131

Re: Optimisation – yes, you can use MT4’s optimisation feature.

Regards.
