hello

can anyone confirm my personal workaround to get x6 metatrader with 99% accuracy using tickstory?

Hope not to be the only one who did it..

hi there
I use win7 64 bit
As I have “only” six core on 3970, I’m not interested in using more than 6 mt4 in optimization
It will slow the entire system.

I run 6 mt4 with optimization of 6 timeframes on the same server with tickstory.
no virtualization sware. After that, I save result in excel and mix them into one single sheet.

Try my configuration and my workaround, hope not to be the only one who did it! ^____^

Hi everyone

I made some tests about tickstory multiple terminal.
I am able actually to run x6 optimization metatrader 670 at the same time.
I started 16 hours ago and all is going well.

Well, it seems working!
What I did

I have a i7 3970 with 4GB ram, mt4 670
I dloaded data with tickstory, then created fxt/hst and put them into respective mt4 folders
then I created 6 identical copies of the same mt4
I ran each mt4 at least once, setting my personal EA, to make about 1 million optimization,
I installed tickstory setting the 1st mt4 as inst folder
F8, and started mt4 optimization.
After that I closed tickstory, I opened it again, choosing the 2nd mt4 installation folder.
F8, and started mt4 optimization on 2nd folder.

And so on, till 6 (I mean six!!!) mt4 optimization.
Here my attached screenshot where you can see six mt4 optimization working since 16h!!

I need someone else to confirm my workaround

hi tickstory

I renew this post because I personally think that you should consider to put your great tool in a speedway.
How to?
Add a multi-loader function!

Nowadays, all traders/programmers uses multicore desktop/server to run their personal (mt4) optimization.
As mt4 is still single-thread , why we have to use only one core? getting the others (five for a six cores i7) to go sleep. Damn!!

As someone already wrote, in the recent past we all were using to run multiple mt4 instances using Birt’s script, till build 409.
But 600+ build need for sure TICKSTORY or TDS to run new fxt files.
Tickstory is free and very powerful.
But it misses the professional way of TDS, I mean the multiple istances of mt4!

Please CONSIDER to create an independent loader to place into each mt4 folder.
This could avoid the problem to constantly update the launcher for each successive mt4 version??
So, in this way, with a SIX CORE desktop, We all will be able to run SIX OPTIMIZATION instead only one 😎 😎 😎
This means to:
1. spend money better
2. using all power of new CPU
3. getting results in faster way

Why not to consider that?!?!

in reply to: Spread is NOT calculated on backtest! #20217

hi tickstory
I do confirm i always use tickstory launcher for fxt created with tickstory and csv2fxt script both.
I do confirm i’m using the last 1.5.1 version.

Here I found the solution (temporary) to let the fxt files created with your tool to consider and calculate swaps!
Naturally, you have to fix this bug

anyway
when you want to create fxt, and load the mt4config file from the broker, the field “swap enable” is 1. enabled.
after creating the fxt, if I open the tickstory fxt with your fxt editor I will see “swap enable” is zero!
This is the reason why the swap was not calculated into backtest.
So, I will modify field in “1”, and save it.
Then I will reopen the same fxt to check if swap enable is 1.

After that, my backtest will give same result of “csv2fxt” way.

about images….some little diff on swaps worth…
gtc pending in csv2fxt is enabled, but in tickstory not.
Anyway, but the backtest give the same identical results. so no prob. ^____^

hi there
swap is enabled

but it does not consider it in calculation of net profit!
did you watch in the prev post the two images relating the missing swal calculation on the closed position?

Hi tickstory
I do know there is no historical swap rates, for sure.
But if you create file mt4config, then you apply to export tab, and create timeframe, the backtest will not include swap rates.
I tried to create a fxt where keeping swap rates, and another one deleting field “swap long” “swap short” “swap roll/o”
The strategy report shows identical results. Identical. And for trades closed after at least one day or more, there is NO SWAP.
In both cases there is no swap.
Instead, creating fxt with csv2fxt Birt script, the swap is inside and the strategy report shows and calculates it.
Please include the calc of the swap inside the hst/fxt, thanks!!!

check the attach, you will understand reading the profit of the first trade closed. In your report (tickstory pdf) there is no swap.
But the trade have been closed after 2 days! the swap for short on forex.ee is 1.72 so 1.72 x 2 days x 2 lot = 10.32 it’s the diff missing in your pdf

Hello
I do confirm what szabbcsi wrote

it seems Swap is not calculated on overnight open position

This way will not help to get a “real” backtest
It will seems more profitable because the swap is missing

What do you think about that?

Hi there

PROBLEM FIXED

The bug was into mt4i data integrity checker, even if the developer told me the code was correct.
m30 timeframe check is missing into the mql4 code.

I already tested the new version of data integrity checker and it works as well.

Hope mt4i will fix this bug asap.

regards

in reply to: Possible Error FXT m30 for all pairs? #19599

hi there
as I wrote

the issue comes using csv2fxt ver 0.43 or tickstory exporting fxt files.
It comes with both processes.
So, I was asking the question: Does tickstory uses part of csv2fxt code to create fxt files?
Because, if csv2fxt script has a bug, and if (i don’t know) tickstory uses part of this script code, the issue is sure the same.

hope it helps

in reply to: Is it possible to launch twice MT4 for backtesting? #19367

Hello
I have the same issue

I have two diff mt4, I need to get the mt4 started via tickstory
I tried to select the first mt4 path, then press f8, the first mt4 starts
then I tried to select the second mt4 path into config page, but when I press f8, tickstory shows me the mt4 already opened (the first one)

So, it seems there is no way at the moment to run two different mt4 terminals.. 🙁 🙁 🙁
