Tickstory

I'm new to this. I've installed tickstory lite and followed the video to use tickstorylite with Amibroker but I'm doing something wrong. Any assistance would be appreciated. I've made a folder in C:\Users\Tickstory\Documents. I've tried using the dates in the video tutorial, and also tried current dates. Using EURUSD as in the video. I'm sure it's a simple fix but I don't know what. Attached is a screenshot. Thanks.

Hi Vekian,

Welcome to you. According to the error message the path c:\Users\Tickstory\Documents\EURUSD.csv cannot be written to.
Are you sure this folder actually exists? Usually, you would specify a folder name like:

c:\Users\(yourname)\Documents\EURUSD.csv

where (yourname) is usually your login name. You can verify the folder name in Windows Explorer.

Whatever you choose, just make sure it is a valid, writable path name, otherwise Tickstory cannot the exported file there.

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I think I'm making some progress but when I go to find the downloaded files they are as BIS files (see attachments)

Hi Vekian,

The .bi5 files are the raw downloaded tick data. When you export, check the location of where you are exporting.
If you specify an export path of c:\Users\Tickstory\Documents\EURUSD.csv, you will see a file called "EURUSD.csv" in the c:\Users\Tickstory\Documents path (Please make sure you specify a folder path that exists, otherwise it will give you an error).

You might want to review these videos if you haven't done so already:

If you turn on Closed Captions (CC) in YouTube, you will see a written narration of some of the important points to note while exporting.

Thanks.
