no ticks generated in strategy tester

hi,

i have recently upgraded my linux machine from slackware to ubuntu 9.04. i have installed the latest version of wine, got the required packages using winetricks and then installed metatrader on top of that. the editor works fine. the dynamic charts work fine. even the sound works... but the strategy tester does not. when i hit the "Start" button there is a delay and then the progress bar shoots very rapidly across to finished. in the "Journal" tab there is only the message:

TestGenerator: no ticks generated

i also did an install under virtualbox and it works fine in all respects, so i suspect that this is a wine/linux issue.

does anybody have any ideas how to solve this issue?

thanks!

best regards,
andrew.

Hello


I have the same problem with collierab. Anybody that solved this ?
Thanks

I have a PC running Vista and haven't changed anyting for several months. About 2 weeks ago I had the same problem with some pairs (FXCM Micro). On others it would ignore my date range and pick up a few ticks near the end of the data set. After jumping around different currency pairs I started changing the time frame to higher ones. I may done a few other things I don't remember. Then I changed the modelling type to tick and suddenly it started working again. I thought perhaps an software update had reset something on my workstation and I somehow managed to reset to work again. I didn't spend any time to do a followup diagnosis because I had to get things done for a deadline. I just want to state that I don't think it has anything to do with operating system and is MT4 specific.

I find that in general, my FXDD workstation strategy tester gives me far fewer problems than FXCM.
