Hi, I confirm the same bug with MT4 (v4,670) when using it with Tickstory
FXT-file over 4GB: I have a 8GB EURUSD file from
20070101-20140719. The backtest was broken at 20110429. I started
again with the same file but from 20110401 TO 20110429. The result was the same: broke down
at 20110429. I started again with the same file but only for one day: from 20110428-20110429 also with same result.
There have been no error messages, but the last open positions have
been closed by the message “close at stop”.
Then I exported ticksotry data to MT4 from 20110101 to 20140719 (only
4GB file) and backtests from 20110101 to 20140719 worked well. Hence definitely the error is in the data,
not EA. And the error is in the FXT-file, or MT4 or Tickstory, but
definitely not in win 8.1 (which is used by me) because they use NTFS with a file limit
of 25 TerraByte! Please repair this bug as soon as possible. The above
discribed solution to test first time period and than seconed takes toomuch time, because if test in two or thre parts, it can be,
that the settings of the EA for first part of test are working well
but for the seconed or third time-area the EA can lose 100%.
Thanks!
Best regards
