Hi,
I am demo'ing FT2 and it looks promising.
Have a bit of a problem importing HST data from my broker oanda.
Can someone take a look and see what could be wrong ?
I can provide the file, what is a preferred way of sharing a 7zip'ed file of size 40Mb HST file ?
Unable to import HST data

Re: Unable to import HST data
Hello,
You can post this file in Internet and then post the link on this forum or send it to our email support@forextester.com
If you are trying to import .hst data from MT4 platform of new build into Forex Tester then you need 2.9.7 version of Forex Tester.
Please download and install new version of Forex Tester which allows to import .hst data from the MT4 platforms of new builds, better install it into another folder (like, C:\ForexTester2New).
You can download the program here: www.forextester.com/files/temp/setuprus.exe
The installer will be in Russian (sorry for this, we will add English version in nearest time) but you will be able to change the language of program to English (or any else) in the program.

Hello,
I have downloaded the software and installed it, however it won't start. It says there's an exception "Not commercial version", despite my Forex Tester 2.9.6 is licensed.

Hello,
Please try to disable your antivirus and launch this version again, this should help.

Hello,
unfortunately this suggestion did not work:
Notice the antivirus icon with a "!" indicating it's been deactivated.
This is quite an issue for me, because I have sold Forex Tester to a Forex course where all students use the same broker (one whose history is not available with your paid data services) and all constantly need to import the bars from HST files (critical for scalping).
If I don't find a way to make it work, they'll return Forex Tester and will want a refund.

Hello,
Please download an archive with installed Forex Tester version from our server:
http://ftdev.dyndns.biz/Files/ForexTester_297.zip
Then unpack the archive into a new folder and launch Forex Tester program.
Does it help?

Re: Unable to import HST data
Hello,
the zipped version works, as long as I start it as Administrator.
It also imports the HST file I have tested, I am going to see with a student if she manages to import the Forex pairs she needs but I am positive she'll succeed.
Only issue is when I quit: FT some times throws an exception in NTDLL.dll that version 2.9.6 doesn't.
The splash screen shows "Copyright 2014".
Finally, nowadays Metatrader 4 lets people move stop loss and profit from the chart, with a great speed up useful for scalpers. Forex Tester should allow the same, after all the code for dragging and dropping levels is already implemented. As of now, FT has got less comfortable usage than the basic MT4, which is not appealing and makes FT look outdated.

Re: Unable to import HST data
Hello,
We plan to add the possibility to drag SL/TP levels from chart in the next versions of our software.
ntdll.dll is a built-in Windows file, maybe you have some files of Windows corrupted, if you launch the program on onther computer you shouldn't have this issue.
So this should be a small local Windows issue.
Please let us know if you have any further questions or need any help.
