    in reply to: How does the Metatrader Info MT4Config impact MT4 backtest #19608

    Thanks
    In creating the variable spread files I noticed that spreads for AUDNZD (my favourite) are significantly higher the further one goes back in history.

    My current challenge (and everyone else is my guess) is creating back test data that simulates live trading for the current time frame. The spread differences are huge and I bet this impacts all of the indicator calculations that work on Bid price alone. How to solve this I can’t say at present but it is causing my expert no end of grief on two live accounts, one has wide spread, the other very narrow.

    Any comments on this topic welcome.

    All the best

    Don’t worry, Birt from EarView helped me out.
    For now, to get live spread in MT4 history I am using Birt’s CSV2FXT.
    I would have thought that given the number of requests on this forum over a long period of time that TickStory Lite would already support exporting of live spread, given the hard work of creating FXT and HST files is done.

    Regardless, keep up the good work.

    Great App Tickstory. 😛 Keep up the good work.

    Tickstory has got me up and running for back testing in no time.

    I’m pleased to see the support for Amibroker.
    I’d love to be able to do my MT4 back testing in Amibroker as it would be 100-1000 times faster.

    Kind regards

    Chris
