Copy project to another pc

[jpabend]

Is there a way to copy a saved project to an other FT on a different computer?
(I want to share test results and history with other fellow FT users)

Hello,

If you need to move your projects to another computer then please do the following:

1) Go to program folder (C:\ForexTester2 by default) and copy "Projects" folders.
2) Then replace "Projects" folder on another computer.

Thx!

Is it necessary to have the given project's currency pair data been downloaded and ticks generated with the same symbol properties on the other computer? Or the project files contain every required data?

You can open the project after generating ticks but note that list of currency pairs should be the same as it was, when you saved a project.

Please open "SymbolInfo.dat" file from your project’s folder (<Forex Tester/Projects/<project’s name>) you can open such files with the help of “Right click -> Open with -> Notepad”.

In this file you will see records like:

AUDUSD
2010.02.22 16:51
2010.02.23 23:59
AUDJPY
2010.02.22 16:51
2010.02.23 23:59

it means that you need to generate ticks for AUDUSD and USDJPY symbols for 2010.02.22 16:51 - 2010.02.23 23:59 date range or wider. Note that ticks have to be generated for all necessary pairs simultaneously (all necessary pairs have to be selected in “Generate ticks” dialog).

So you need to check that you have ticks generated for all necessary currency pairs (but not for more pairs) for proper date range. If you have lesser date range then you need to extend it.
