Hi Nesit, At update: Tried downloading the IG Markets (IG.COM) MT4 terminal but it does not have the symbols you mention. Perhaps if you could give us the MT4 Demo setup file we might be able to get the same environment as you? You would need to upload it to a Gmail drive or the link since the forum will not accept .exe attachments.
Otherwise, we could try copying some of you configuration & data files to analyze such as:
1) In the MT4 Data folder (go to File->Open Data Folder), browse to config and send us your *.srv file.
2) In the MT4 Data Folder, browse to history/IG-DEMO and send us your symbols.sel file.
3) In the MT4 Strategy Tester, select the "Open prices" modelling method and a symbol with the "pound" sign and then press back-test. After this, browse to the MT4 Data Folder and then go to tester/history and a file called <symbolname>_1.fxt will exist. If you can zip this file and package it with the rest of the files, this would be great.
Hopefully you have the original setup to save the extra work!
Thanks.
