Thanks
I do not use NULL ever. I do reference the timeframes with PERIOD_H4 and PERIOD_D1.

Time Period selection
I reference H4 and D1 equally in my Expert advisor. I download both timeframes form tickstory. So when I run my backtest in MT4 (Not visual mode), which period must I select H4 or D1 inside of MT4? They give different results, just need to know which one to believe.

Re: File cannot open[5]
Morning. Yes it is a problem, because when the backtester tests the results are wrong. Position sizing should be based on min position of 0.1 and not 0.01, the step should also be 0.1 and 0.01. So my $Profits are wrong on the backtester. This is very important for me to fix.

Re: File cannot open[5]
I get the Cannot open5 error when I change the values to match my broker specification. When I map it shows at the arrows on tickstory 0.01, however my broker specifications are 0.1.

Re: File cannot open[5]
Hi. Thanks for your response. The problem is not that a specific dowload works and then stop working. Once I get a sucessfull download it keeps on working. But when I do another download to get more recent data included, then it becomes a battle of dowloading up to 10 times where I somtimes get luck...

Re: File cannot open[5]
Hi. Yes both I do 100%. I have downloaded one year of data. I download data and it works 100% and then when I dowload again a week or 2 later, I get this error. It happens on Forex also. I do map to the correct name.
So why is it working sometimes and sometimes not. I do it the same way everytime.

All other stuff that I downloaded in the same folder I have no issue with accesing it in the backtester. Ok...
