Hi,
And thx for the info.
I got it working but there were a lot of issues due to wrong descriptions and “little bugs”:
1.) “TickstoryExpertEA” is labeled “TickstoryInfoExpert” in my paid version “Tickstory v1.7.2” (language: German).
2.) The folder were the config file is created is not (like said in Tickstory’s description) in
“C:…TerminalXXXXXXXXXXXXXMQL4Expertsfiles” but in
“C:…TerminalXXXXXXXXXXXXXconfig”.
3.) Tickstory’s description doesn’t say that it’s a “.mt4config file” and the software also doesn’t put this file extension into the file’s name. So I had to do this manually to be able to load it later in Tickstory.
4.) When “TickstoryInfoExpert” was working on the chart I had no idea how long I had to wait. I checked the size of the created config file but it was “0 KB” all the time. After closing the chart it immediately was 50 KB. When I repeated this process with longer waiting the file size didn’t grow. So I thought it must be finished but as I said there was no hint regarding this.
5.) I also realized that said “.mt4config” file didn’t include all values of the broker I use [Admiral Markets (“Prime”)] e.g. no commission cost although it’s 30 EUR per side and million. This may be a matter of the broker but I also think the GMT offset should be auto detected (which was not the case).
6.) After loading said “config file” I clicked “ok”, the dialog box was closed and Tickstory said the export had been successful. Considering the big data volume of “every tick” I knew that there was something wrong. I checked the data in the respective folders and couldn’t find them. I then repeated the process but this time I switched to the first tab in the export settings dialog box before clicking “ok” and then it worked (data download took some time and there was a progress status value in percent).
Best,
Ben
