can you confirm this is correct. i installed mt4 on another hard drive. and made a shortcut in the folder with /portable. so when i exported it it said in mt4 my server was different or something. it said aafx is different from fxglory demo. so i went to the config file in roaming directory and changed it. it was in the dir tickstorylite. i ran the backtest on serena ea basic and no trades showed. i did get them to show on another mt4.

<Mt4Settings Mt4InstallDir="I:\fxglory mt4" ServerName="FXGlory-Demo Server"
BaseDataDir="C:\Users\Elliot\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\B592AE0CB1D51A758E4F8C307D11D8DE" LaunchCmdLineArgs="/portable" />
<GeneralSettings UsageInfo="" DisclaimerAccepted="true" LastRunDirectory="C:\Program Files (x86)\Tickstory\Tickstory.exe" />

Hi Elliot,

Apologies for the delayed reply - we've been enjoying the new year's festivities ;)

Regarding the setttings, if you are working in portable mode, then your MT4 Data Folder (BaseDataDir in the settings) would need to be the same as your installation directory:

Code: Select all

<Mt4Settings Mt4InstallDir="I:\fxglory mt4" ServerName="FXGlory-Demo Server"
BaseDataDir="I:\fxglory mt4" LaunchCmdLineArgs="/portable" />
<GeneralSettings UsageInfo="" DisclaimerAccepted="true" LastRunDirectory="C:\Program Files (x86)\Tickstory\Tickstory.exe" />
Hope this helps.
