Hello tickstory,

I am very grateful that you have helped me.
Gold back-test is excellent. S&P500 on the same terminal also. I just adjusted some parameters that are mentioned in the link which you send to me.

Thank you once more !

Best regards 😎

Hello tickstory,

I tried MT4 terminal which you recommended to me. For S&P500 it is exactly the same result as on previous terminal.
But I have to say that GOLD backtest is great! I downloaded last 3 years date range and it run right and modelling quality is 99.90%. Ideally 😉

I suppose that it might be a problem with S&P500 with names of fxt files. I change them to these which are needed by terminal but it must be something wrong… I don’t know exactly what and why… And unfortunately I need S&P500…
Do you think that it would be a good solution to find MT4 terminal that has the same file names as are default downloaded by Tickstory Lite? (it might be a problem because I don’t remember that any broker has fxt file names as I need, maybe Dukascopy but it doesn’t have MT4)

Thank You a lot for help,
Regards

Hi tickstory,

I would be very grateful if you tried to reproduced the problem.
Terminal that I downloaded is BOSSAFX.
Here is a link to download the terminal (for the demo account): http://bossafx.pl/redir.do?aid=27459&name=bossafx4setup.exe

If the link above doesn’t run you must click on this link: http://bossafx.pl/index.jsp?layout=fx_8&page=0&news_cat_id=3115
Unfortunately it’s in polish only… You need to scroll down the site and click the orange button: “tak”
After that you will see: “Platforma BossaFX Desktop dla komputerów klasy PC:” There is “pobierz:” and click on “plik instalacyjny” – then you will download the terminal.

I deleted all historical data before exporting new ones.
I exported USA500IDXUSD (S&P500) and mapped the symbol to FUS500 (this one is used by the terminal BOSSAFX), period – last 1 year, interval daily – and then I became tested date range 31/03/2014 to 13/08/2014 and modelling quality 99.90%.

EA – “Moving Avarage” – standard in MT4.
Select symbol FUS500 (it’s S&P500).
I don’t set date ranges on the Strategy Tester.
Of course termnal is launched via Tickstory Lite.

I hope everything I wrote is clear.

Regards

P.S. I am very interested in what you will get.

Hi tickstory,

I reduced the date range as you recommended:
1. to (last) 6 months – tested date range 30/09/2014 to 28/01/2015 and modelling quality is 99.90%, interval daily
2. to (last) 1 year – tested date range 31/03/2014 to 13/08/2014 and modelling quality is 99.90%, interval daily

On shorter timeframes it stops even earlier. I used a standard EA in MT4 – “Moving Avarage”

Any other idea? Maybe if I changed platform it would run…?

Regards

Thank’s, but unfortunately it doesn’t go.

-Data has been exported to the correct location
-Exported ranges for the data appears correctly in MT4’s History Center (for M1 data starts from 18:33 30.12.2014, for M5 from 00:25 4.04.2014 and for the rest from 19.09.2011 in History Center)
-Modelling quality is 99.90% and I launch MT4 via Tickstory
-I have no data ranges set on the Strategy Tester

I try it on S&P500- I exported maximal data range from 19/09/2011 to 26/09/2015 and fxt files total size is 2.62GB. For timeframe D1 it stops on 30/05/2012. Bars used in test 876. O errors on the chart. Names of fxt files are correct.

Do you have any other idea? 🙄

Regards

in reply to: backtest not complete #18754

Hello,

I have similiar problem as DOGfight. I have exported data to MT4 from 25/03/2014 to 24/03/2015 and backtest stops on 13/08/2014 15:09 (that’s daily interval).
The fxt data size is 1.57GB. When I change interval on lower then simulation ends even earlier.

What happens? What can I do?

Best regards
