Version 8 fixes my problem

I’ve done some more testing and found if I make the FXT files read only immediately after the download, and before I open MT4, then it works fine and I can close and re-open MT4 and run back tests without issue. The trick is to make the FXT files in tester/history read only before the first launch of MT4.

I can live with this as it is a minor work around.

Thanks Drew

When I first launch MT4 from the Tickstory launcher it is fine and I could do a couple of backtest runs, but then I get the “no data for testing” error, without closing MT4 and after making the FXT files read only. I’m using MT4 version 469 on Win 7. If I close and relaunch MT4 I also get the “no data for testing” error.

Another puzzling thing is that all the FXT files for 5 years is 6.8GB for each timeframe, so the total is > 50GB. The M1 HST file is only 80Mb. Is this normal?

Should I load an older version of MT4?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Drew
