Tickstory

Hi Seiangoku, You should be able to show hidden files folders by configuring this in Windows Explorer -> View ->Check Hidden Items . After this the Folder browser in Tickstory should show these files. As an aside, you might want to think about installing your MT4 to a more "standard" location as it ...

You're welcome!

Hi Seiangoku,

You should be setting the location where the application is installed - for example, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Metatrader". Once this is set, Tickstory will automatically detect the location of your Data Folder.

Hope this helps.

Hi TraderBuilder,

That doesn't sound right. Are you sure you are not inadvertently using the "mm" specifier for the hour instead of 24-hour "HH"?

Hi - You can switch your MT4 terminal in the settings and launch. Once you have done this for both terminals, you can back-test as normal. Launch is only required once on the initial start of a MT4 terminal instance.
Thanks.

Hi Gu00hero,
Most settings are largely the same for most brokers but the if you want the most accurate back-test for your broker, it is recommended you use their settings when possible.
Thanks.

That's correct.
