Hi Bismillahwd,

Thanks for the detailed info to help us troubleshoot your issue. With regards to the Number of Digits, it appears you have correctly created a 5-digit extract which is good. The reason why MT4 displays “4 digits” is because this information is obtained directly from the broker – not from your exported database. If you wish to double-check whether your back-test if using 5-digits, you can print out the variable “Digits” in your MQL code.
The other issue seems to be that your back-test is reporting “n/a” which is an indication that your exported database is not being used correctly. Please ensure that:

– You are launching MT4 via Tickstory (which you have confirmed)
– You are not connected to your broker
– You have exported the files as “read-only”

Hope this helps!

Dear Admin Ticstory,

I’ve checklisted the setup for Read Only
And always do the method disconected from the broker
[attachment=1:hj4og6vf]read only.png[/attachment:hj4og6vf]

But still shown 4 digit, even i drag the symbol to the chart it is 4 digits.
Im sure im doing by F8 for launch MT4
And about the disconected, i didnt conect to my broker because my broker automated reject me and give “Old Version” in the bottom right my MT4 that shown in picture.

Or maybe i should disconected by using fake proxy in my MT4?

Hi bismillahwd,

The fact that you are getting an “n/a” in your back-test result is an indication that MT4 is not correctly using your exported data. Could you please download and use the following MT4 version to narrow down the possible issues:

Thanks.

Great news, Bismillahwd! I suspect that the terminal 482 that is not working is still connecting to your broker. If you are that keen, you can try disconnecting your internet to see if that fixes it.
Otherwise, good to hear that it’s now working for you.

I’ve just backtested my EA using the build 432 suggested on this forum and see the opening prices being in the 5-digit format while the SL/TP values are in the 4-digit format. How do I get the SL/TP values to be in the 5-digit format too?

Hi Render,

You will need to ensure that your EA supports 5-digit brokers. If not, you will need to ask them to update the EA for you.

Hope this helps.

My EA was actually designed for 5-digit brokers yet the chart pricing and the SL/TP values of your build 432 are 4-digit – kindly refer to my screenshot above. Do you have MT4 build 432/445/451 with 5-digit pricing?

Hi Render,

I have tested the standard ‘MACD Sample’ EA under the same Build 432 available for download and I can confirm that I can see 5-digits.

Are you able to try the same EA and see if it reports 5-digits when testing with EURUSD (of course, make sure that your export EURUSD data with 5-digits)?

Thanks.

Do you see only the opening prices in the 5-digit format or the SL/TP values too?

Here’s how I see it:

Hi Render,

You are right – the TP and SL are listed as 4-digit due to the MT4 platform. Attached is a ‘symbols.raw’ file that should change all the symbols to 5-digit. Backup any existing file and place the attached file in the C:Program FilesMetaTrader 432historyAlpariUK-Demo-Pro directory.

Please let us know how you go.

Thanks.
