Help with Backtesting

I have downloaded the M1 data from alpari but the EA I want to test runs on 15m frames. I imported the 1m into the historical data under the 1m and when I try to run stragety tester it says

2008.01.05 13:20:07 TestGenerator: no history data 'GBPJPY15'

What am i doing wrong?

My model is "every Tick"

Thanks for your help.

I think you have to create other TF data as well, such as 5M and 15M. There is a script for that and information somewhere on the web (may be it was in IBFX website).

Use the script 'Period_Converter.mq4' which is included with the MT4 download. Look at the modeling quality PDF at the bottom of this post by Hendrick. I don't follow everything in the PDF but it explains how to create other time frames using the script.

You can also download history from MetaQuotes in the history center. The data's server offset may not agree with the data on your platform but it is easier than using Alpari 1min data. Use the download button at the lower left of the history center after selecting the currency pair.

hey Nvwine: i tried that but still got the samething I am going to figure this out tomorrow, it is about to drive me insane.
