    Also tried to make links from AppData to MT4 installation directory (every folder like tester, history, etc) but it not helps. Modeling quality is n/a and amount of ticks processed the same when launched from tickstory or outside. Can you describe what tickstory requires from MT4 – which files/folders ? Tried under admin rights of course. Thanks.

    I think ideal solution to support both MT4 <574 and 574+ is to make additional field in Settings to specify MT4 data folder path, the current field should be used only to find executables for launch. Now fields in settings will be

    1) MT4 Installation
    2) MT4 Data folder (the same as 1 by default).
    3) Server name.

    Hi Dobermann,

    You will need to use the /portable flag to ensure all data is stored in the MT4 directory. You will also need to make sure your MT4 installation is not under “Program Files” folder since Windows will prevent data from being written here.

    Please let us know how you go.

    Regards.

    Tried this, it solved the problem with MT4 detection of course, but when I launch it from Tickstory it started in non-portable mode (checked by using “Open data folder” from File menu). So if tickstory exports data to MT4 folder – it will not work, because active folder is the one from AppData. Right ? Solution can be to add an option somewhere to specify additional command line arguments for launching MT4.

    Also when selecting folder for such new install its unable to detect installation at all…. Seems the issue caused new folder layout (MT4 store history and other user data in AppData now).
