Testing mode does not work

#1 Postby gs44631 » Sun Jul 26, 2015 2:05 pm

hi I see the attached bug report when I start forex tester. am not able to do any testing though I updated data from the data centre and generated ticks.

I have the full version of forextester. Am able to see the chart only for one month though I have updated data for 15 years.

Hello,

Please go to History Mode, re-generate ticks and try to start testing again. This should help.

If this doesn't help, please download latest version of Forex Tester from our site, reinstall it into a new folder (for example, C:\ForexTester2New) and then start testing in this new instance of Forex Tester.

Hello, I am having the exact same issue. I registered it and followed the steps and added ticks and still less than a month, followed the forex tester 2 video for how to do it and nothing.
Also uninstalled and reinstalled and it still doesn't work.

What now?

Hello,

Have you tried to re-generate ticks according to this instruction: http://www.forextester.com/ticks ?
But before generating ticks you need to download data for each pair separately.
Because when you load the program for the first time it has only 1 month of preloaded data.

I think I figured it out.... I guess I assumed it would show history when I got to testing mode, it looks like testing has to be "started" before it will load history on the screen.
It seems it should be explained, I figured why start testing when there is nothing there, kind of like changing the tv channel when it looks like it is off. Why would I even try.

Hello,

Yes, when you switch to Testing Mode you see a result of previous test.
You need to start a new test and you will see moving bars on charts.
