Topic: Difference of historical data

Hello everybody,
I have a question: Is there any difference while using the forex broker's historical data (obtained from MT4) with using the data presented in FSB site? Is it affect robots' performance?
I also have to add that the number of bars I can obtain from MT4 is low.

Re: Difference of historical data

The difference can be quite pronounced as FX data is not from a centralized market. Performance will be affected but its degree of variation is for you to figure out. Upside is that you can easily test your strats against 2 datasets and if you see a complete failure (very probable to happen), then you can swiftly brush those strats aside as not working ones.

Thanks for answering.
You mean that first I have to develop strategies with data in the FSB site, then examine the strategies with datasets of my broker?
