in reply to: Backtesting doesn’t start from data exported to MT4 #19205

Hi NT,

I didn’t check back my post for awhile and didn’t notice your query.
TS works fine with build 509 from any broker. You may wish to try these steps to see whether it works.
1. Ensure your TS’ MT4 Settings are pointing to the right directory. See screenshot attached. After that, you can start export to MT4.
2. Before you launch MT4, ensure you select the facebook Like button and stay connected, you will see the Star lighted. You may close the TS after MT4 is launched.
Hope this helps.

Hi TS,

I just sent you a futher enquiry and I wish to retrieve it. Reason is I just re-launched backtest and it seems to be working now. I not sure why it didn’t work the first time but so far so good in the midst of the testing. Thanks a lot for everything.

Thanks TS for the prompt advice. I did a “Maps To” and export to MT4 for dates 7/1/2010 to 8/11/2013. When I launched the backtest for period 15min, the error message is “TestGenerator: internal error because the file not opened”. History Centre data seems incomplete as 1min has 65000/1179060 records and 15min has 65000/78604 records. Appreciate your further advice. ❓
