Changing the decimal symbol from a comma to a dot fixed the problem 😀

Wow, that was a hard one.

Thanks

Hi,

No my en-US settings are not customized.
The decimal grouping symbol is the standard dot.
I’ve attached a screenshot of my settings
I hope that helps a bit.

No removing the mapto line does not fix it.
I tried removing every line after it one by one, but none fixed it.

I found out that the values that contains a . are giving the problems.

For example:

i have a line Symbol_EURUSD_Spread=19.00
if i change that to Symbol_EURUSD_Spread=19 (without .00) it loads successfully.

Of course i can’t do that for every line. When you take Symbol_EURUSD_Point=0.000010 , you can’t take out the dot.
Maybe this makes some clear. I only don’t understand what OS setting might cause this.

Unfortunately the MapTo line was not the issue.

Further i tried an uninstall and searched with regscanner for remaining TickStory entries in the registry and removed them.
In HKLM this was not a problem, but in HKCU there where some remaining entries i was not permitted to delete 😥
After re-install i still had the same issue.

I tried on another test Windows 7 machine and there it loads the full configuration succesfull 😕
The language settings on that machine where dutch, so it seems that language is not the cause.
Both Windows 7 machines had a default installation.

Maybe you can tell me what input validation rules apply on loading this config file ?
It seems to drop this part of the config because input rules are not met. (but i don’t know what checks are done)

When i remove the line : Symbol_EURUSD_Spread=19.00 it only loads the spread with a value of 20. Is that a default value when no value is found ?
The same applies for every line i remove. it seems that a default value is loaded.

So when i remove the whole block, all values are loaded with “default” settings.

I only changed these settings on the Windows 7 machine.
The XP and 2003 machines already had everything in english (US).
The Windows 7 machine had only dutch keyboard settings and the location was “Netherlands”, the formats tab had English (US) already.

Hi Admin,

I use the 0.9.2.0 version.
I checked regional and language settings. I changed all to english (US).
Still no succes.
My OS is Windows 7, so i gave it a try on a Windows XP test machine(a VM).
That worked flawless so did another try on a Windows Server 2003 machine (my VPS) and there it didn’t work.

On all 3 machines i use the same regional and language settings.
On my Windows 7 machine i tried running tickstory with administrative permissions (right-click menu) and also in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode, but unfortunately no success.
It seems to be OS dependant.

I’m out of ideas right now.
Hope you got some suggestions.

Hi Admin,

I have attached the config file.
It seems that values are not loaded from the section that starts at “Symbol_EURUSD_MapTo=”.
So everything in the section “Account” is correctly loaded and the values in the section “Symbol Properties” is not.

What do you mean with language ? The language of my TickstoryVersion ? (english)
I don’t see any option to configure a language.

The zero divide error is fixed.
When using the “Metatrader Data Editor” i noticed that the “Point” value was zero.
I use this one in my spread calculation.
When commenting out this part my EA started opening orders, and gave a modelling quality of 99,9%.

It’s odd since i entered the Point value manually in the export settings.
To be sure i did the export again with all “Symbol Properties” entered manually.
But again, when opening the FXT files with the editor i noticed a blank “Point” value.
