I imported historical data in the “History Mode”, then switched to the “Testing Mode” and there is still only 1 month of data.

You need to generate ticks first for a desired period of time and symbols.

I imported data in the “History Mode”, generated ticks, switched to the “Testing Mode” and still see only 1 month of data there!

You see the results of a previous test. You need to start a new test - press the "Start Test" button. If the “Pause” button was set you will need to release it too.

I generated ticks for 2 (or more) symbols. I have started the test and I can see bars on one chart, but the second chart is empty. What am I doing wrong?


It is possible that you imported more history for 1 symbol, then for others. For example, you imported history for EURUSD from 2001/01/01 to 2009/01/01, and for USDJPY from 2002/01/01 to 2009/01/01. And you generated ticks from 2001/01/01 to 2009/01/01. When you start test you will see bars created on EURUSD chart and nothing on USDJPY chart until the testing time reaches 2002/01/01. Then you will see bars on 2 charts.

I generated ticks for USDJPY, then I generated ticks for EURUSD. I have switched to the “Testing Mode” I can see only EURUSD but I want to see both.


You need to generate ticks for 2 symbols at the same time. Every new ticks generation erases previously created data.
