Re: mt4 indicator "array out of range"

Hi Tickwaiting, "Array out of range" indicates that the EA/indicator has not done a bounds check on the array before trying to access it. You'll need to make some sort of check to make sure this error does not occur. For further understanding of what is going wrong, you might want to dump the array ...

Re: Multiple command line args

Hi Ariel,

Yes, the entire line will be passed through as-is. Note that I don't believe MT4 is respecting the /skipupdate parameter any more. Our Advanced Tester allows you to do this however.

Re: Tick Data not Loading into MT4

Hi Freddie, You mentioned using both MT4 and MT5 but I assume the latter was a typo. If you are using MT4, could you please firstly confirm if you are getting 99.9% modelling quality on your back-test. If not, please check our Trouble-shooting FAQ to rectify the issue. Also note that you can check t...

Re: Time-zone "none"

Hi Glax012, Yes, it can make sense to baseline all your timestamps in GMT. Often EAs are designed to assume GMT and have a parameter called "GMT offset" that allows you to adjust it as necessary. Of course, when you finally trade live, you will want to make sure al your time-stamps are in the same t...

Re: Time-zone "none"

Hi Glaxo12, The "native" time-zone is simply the time-zone of where the instrument is typically traded. In the case of US stocks, for example, the time-zones will match the New York Stock Exchange. For DEU.IDX (German DAX), it will be the trading hours of the German Stock Exchange. By selecting "Non...

Re: Backtest doesn't match forward test

Hi Jt27, Firstly, our apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Regarding your question, multi-timeframes is supported by MT4 however you should be cautious about how your EA is coded. In any MQL function that allows you to specify the time-frame (for example, iMA() to get the moving average )...

Re: Tick Story Lite not working. Says only 365 days of data allowed when requesting 1 year of data

Hello,

There may be some sort of a day rounding issue. Please remove a few days from the date range and it should work.

Thanks.
