    Hi kong,

    Sounds like MT4 is not being launched correctly on the second time for some reason. I would ensure that your FXT files are firstly labelled as ‘read-only’ so they don’t get over-written. After this, further details would be needed to see if the problem can be reproduced. Are you using Windows 7?

    Thanks..

    Hi Kong_28,

    The issue with the launcher is being investigated under Windows 7 (see viewtopic.php?f=4&t=142). When you say it works the “first time” – when is this? After a reboot? After closing down Tickstory? How do you get it to work again?

    Thanks.

    Hi

    It work when I finish exporting the data to MT4 and click launch. Afterward, I close my MT4 and click launch via Tickstory again, but this second time I can not get 99%.
    I have to redo the process by exporting the same data to MT4 and then launch in order to get 99% quality again.
    It would be better if I don’t need to export the same data every time I close my MT4.

    Thanks,

    Hi Kong_28,

    Can you please check the following:

    – That you are using the latest version of Tickstory (currently v0.8)
    – That when you generate your MT4 export, you select the option ‘Make FXT files read-only’.
    – That you are launching MT4 with Tickstory at all times.

    If you follow these steps, you should never have a situation where your FXT files are being over-written. If for some reason the launcher does not work correctly, the MT4 back-tester will report an error however your FXT will remain untouched and you should not need to regenerate it.

    Please let us know how you go.

    Thanks.

    Hi

    I use version 0.8 and I check tester/history then check “read only” for every time frame. So, I don’t have to reexport file anymore. Thank you *-*

    Best Regards,
    Kong
