Oups…

Should I be disconected for backtesting?

I thought, the history-files are write-protected when launching MT via TS.

Hi Tickstory,

thanks for the answer.

Regarding the timezone there is a misunderstanding:
Ofcourse you should not keep a list of all brokers within TS.
You should only memorize the previous user-inputs.

When exporting data to MT I have to give a path for the MT4-installation (=Broker).
Correct me if I am wrong, but then the timezone is related to that.
So my idea is, to add a field (lets say “Broker-timezone”) to the MT4-settings, and to
use this timezone as a default when exporting data.

And regarding the dropdown-list …. let’s make it the other way round and let me ask,
what users with more than one broker have to do right now:
When exporting to the second broker, then select a new path for installation and server (and timezone)?
And when exporting to the first broker, reselect the previously already given path again?
Is it this way?

Hi,

There is no reply at all.
Did I use the wrong forum?

Hi tickstory,

never used offline-charts before 🙂
Nevertheless … when doing so, the offline chart looks identical to the NON-visual chart.

Hi Tickstory,

to be honest … I don’t know what you mean by “normal historical chart”.
And I did not see any version being displayd when opening a chart.

TS is version 0.9.2.0
MT4 PRO is version 4.00 build 509
When launching MT4 with no open chart, then the main window of MT4 is titeled
[attachment=0:2p8umn6m]Unbenannt.JPG[/attachment:2p8umn6m]

When opening any chart it is named with the symbol and the timeframe (e.g. “EURUSD,M5”)
Same when opening a chart after backtesting in non-visual mode.
When backtesting in visual mode, the chart is named like “EURUSD, M5 (visual)”.

Hope this answers your question?!

Hi tickstory,

correct – I assume Jan used a different time-zone, as his flat bars are starting at 9 pm.
I am sure it will be also starting at 10pm when using the correct time-zone.

So the basic issue is the same, which are the flat bars and/or the difference between visual and non-visual backtest-mode.

As you can see on my pictures, there are not only additional flat bars inserted – there are also real markel-bars
replaced by flat bars. So the test-results are different.
As of now, I can only use the visual mode – which takes at least 5 times more time.
And optimization is not possible at all.
So this is quite a big issue for me.
Hope you can provide some solving soon.

But to answer your question: I am using UTC+1.

Hi,

is it only me, or anyone else who has the same behaviour?

Hi,

This morning I did again some backtests, and was even more confused … I had flat bars again.

But now I know the difference: visual mode

In case I check the visual mode I have no flat bars.
In unchecked mode (which is much faster) there are flat bars.
Attached is a screenshot with two windows (checked and unchecked).
[attachment=0:39kf793d]WE-Flat.JPG[/attachment:39kf793d]
Just now I see, that the flat bars are not the complete weekend.
And there are more flat bars than real bars – so there is a gap in between.

In visual mode it is perfect: bar on friday 10:55 pm and the very next bar is the one from sunday 11:00 pm
But in non-visual mode … 👿 👿 😈 ???
I have no idea what to do…

And … I did not yet consider optimization 😮

Hi,

Forget about it – it’s working now.

I did not do anything (as usual). Maybe because I restarted MT4.
I’m confused…

Sorry for any inconvenience

Hi,

1) I saw the other topic – but I’m not sure if this is the same as my problem:
At the beginning you write: “A new feature needs to be added to eliminate weekend information”
But at the end you write ” You can enable the export of weekend information by checking the “include weekends” checkbox”

2) I am not sure if you got my point …
Yes, there is no trading. And yes, there is no data. So … why do I have bars??

If correct or not … what do I have to do, to have NO bars during weekend?

Hi,

I downloaded Tickstory yesterday, and I’m impressed – it’s a great tool.
But the translation could be better.
Thus I had the same idea as Gigabrainy.

If you need someone for german translation … 🙂
