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 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.

Hi,
Can you go into a bit more detail on what the process is to extract the information you are requesting.
Thanks.

The problem may be in symbols.raw.

I did a clean install of MT4 from the MT 4 site
Started MT4 and cancelled out of the create demo and cancelled login to account.
Closed MT4
By default it creates a history folder of “FXCM-USDDemo01” with only symbols.sel
I exported a currency to this session with my broker config file
Started MT4 with no logon and was able to run a strategy test.

Now I did the same with my broker download.
I did a clean install of MT4 from my broker.
Started MT4 and cancelled out of the create demo and cancelled login to account.
Closed MT4
It does not create a default account.
Restarted MT4 and logged into my account
Closed MT4
It creates a broker account folder. It has news.dat, symbols.raw,symbols.sel,ticks.raw,symgroups.raw
I exported a currency to this session with my broker config file
Started MT4 with no logon and was not able to run a strategy test. 0.1 lot size. Order Send Error 131.
Closed MT4 and removed all config files apart from symbols.sel
Strategy test worked.

Copied all files apart from symbols.raw and strategy test worked.
Copied symbols.raw and Order Send Error 131.

So probably at this stage the best way for Strategy testing would be to:
I did a clean install of MT4 from the MT 4 site
Started MT4 and cancelled out of the create demo and cancelled login to account.
Closed MT4
By default it creates a history folder of “FXCM-USDDemo01” with only symbols.sel
I exported a currency to this session with my broker config file
Started MT4 with no logon and was able to run a strategy test.

Ok thanks, I understand now.

Hi,
It is the otherway around. I am getting 4 digits instead of 5.
By default it 4 digits.
I used my config file from my broker and tried your Mt4.FactoryDefault.mt4config file. (see first picture)
I export using this and ‘Symbol Properties’ in Strategy Tester and shows 4 digit.
Even if I use Tickstory FX Editor it says 5 digits and I resave the file and ‘Symbol Properties’ in Strategy Tester and shows 4 digit.
