For the data, Initially, I was thinking to use the database from the forexsb.com website since I can have considerable amount of data. I changed my mind at the end and realized maybe it is better to stick into my limited data from my broker since parameters like spread can have significant effect on the strategy.
For the weekly data, I wanted to consider it as a higher time frame for trading in H4/daily time frame.
]]>I see everybody are discussing about removing data bars limitations.
I'm, working on a new FSB Pro release now and will expand the default limitations. However, I'm doing that only because the users want. I found out that importing 200 000 bars requires about 1.5 GB of RAM for one period.
it barely exports more than 19000 for 1Min
It looks like your broker provides that many bars for this symbol. with teh time, your MT will collect more bars.
Also, it does not collect any data on weekly time frame.
You may modify the script to collect weekly bars, however, what is the point of doing that. Do you want to run experts on Weekly charts?
]]>I've just downloaded the software, started to use it, and join this great forum today. I see everybody are discussing about removing data bars limitations. I agree that we need to have access to significant amount of data (maybe around 35000 bars on M15 & M5 based on your experience) to develop a strategy. However, whenever I try to export bars data from my broker by using "Export Data to CSV" script, it barely export more than 19000 for 1Min char and consequently lesser bars data on larger time frames. Also, it does not collect any data on weekly time frame. I would appreciate if you please advise.
]]>It must be able to load 5mil bars. However FSB Pro is more productive with a lower amount of bars.
supposing the data set is 1mil bars... means it would be more beneficial to use 50k bars for generation and 950k bars for walk forward, rather than 500k bars for generation and 500k bars for walk forward?
]]>Is the maximum bar to import only limited to 1,000,000 or can we do more than that? My M1 data was about 4.8 Million and it was cut to 1,000,000 although I edited the data source file to 5,000,000.
]]>So data download is capped at 100 000 bars no matter what settings I adjust? If so, then what do the updates in the system data source file and Data Horizon do?
]]>I went to download data under Data Download, the max number of downloaded bars is still capped at 100,000.
This is correct. The Data Download Service provides up to 100 000 bars. It was already explained on this topic.
]]>These errors must be due to your internet connection. I tested it now and it works fine.
Our Data Service provides up to 100 000 bars. You can import as many bars as you wont form your MT or from other sources.
