history and testing mode 1 min charts different

#1 Postby Starry123 » Tue Dec 11, 2012 9:48 am

I imported some 1 minute data from fxcm. In the history center it shows up nicely. After i generate ticks, and go to testing mode and start a test, the data defaults to the original forexite data that looks really bad on the eye.

How do i get the data i imported to show up?
I also shifted the time by -6 hours on the fxcm data when i imported the .csv 1 minute file.

Hello,

Please check if you have 5 digits after point in Currency pair settings in Data Center.

Changing it to 5 digits changes the history to use 5 digits after reimporting. The numbers in the testing mode on the right hand side all have 5 digits, but none of the bars in the testing mode have anything other than a zero as the fifth digit. So its using the wrong data in testing mode.

Also, i noticed when I generate ticks it gives a date from 2000 to 2012, even though my data only starts in 2012. Maybe thatll help.

Hmm, please try the following:

1) Delete all imported data for EURUSD (use "Clear" button in data center)
2) Make sure that there is 5 digits after point in currency pair settings
3) Re-import data
4) Ge-generate ticks
5) Close all charts in Testing Mode
6) Start a new test, unpause it
7) Open charts in testing mode again

Does that help?

Nope, still doesnt work. Even though point is set to 0.00001 in the data center, it only shows correctly in the history mode, not in testing mode. in testing mode, it seems that its rounded to the 0.0001 place.

So i guess this would be reproducible by taking any 1 minute history data from a 5 digit broker, like fxcm metatrader, importing and then going to testing mode to see if there are 5 digits for any of the high/low/close points.

We've tested 5digits data in Forex Tester and everything worked fine, this situation only happens when ticks are not re-generated after importing data. Can you please PM me with your Skype ID so I'll try to help you via remote support?
