I have had a busy week this week and have not been able to do any testing. Hopefully this weekend.
I was just using the default EA’s that came with MT4 to reproduce the errors.
We’ve managed to replicate the issue on a terminal, however there is no apparent issue with the data as far as we can see. The market info information (eg. lot size) information seems to be correct and returning a valid value from the strategy tester. It appears that others have come across this issue as well and it has been logged with Metatrader here: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/64418.
Hopefully there will be a resolution shortly. The only workaround we know of in the interim is to roll back your MT4 Build to 840 (see link below) or try the suggestions mentioned in this thread.
Link to Build 840:

Thank you for the file, but please tell me way to stop autoupdate from updating to version 890. It seems that the usual “delete the Webinstall folder” doesn’t work anymore or I’m missing something. I’m a licensed user and have the latest update of Tickstory and still unable to backtest 🙁
Hi,
I tried 890 and had same issue, if I connect to broker I can run a backtest, if I go offline I get error 131.
I rolled back to 840 using your files and was able to run backtest without error.
We’ll see what happens with the next version of MT4.
I believe you can use “/skipupdate” in the command-line argument when launching to suppress the updates. You can configure this in Tickstory vis File->Settings->MT4 Settings->Launch params..
