Topic: Tick Data Import from MetaTrader
Hello, Traders,
I'm very happy that I succeeded in importing Tick Data from MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester.
This opens the possibility of having real-time, real-ticks, and real-spread testing in our next strategy builder and generator.
I already have a prototype of the data import.
How it works in my tests:
1. Run a special Expert Advisor on any symbol, M1, and "Every tick based on real ticks". It took 10 seconds for 5 years of tick data.
2. A tick data file is exported. Drag and drop it onto the new Strategy Builder Professional - 2 seconds for the import.
3. The Tick data are available within the program. Higher time frames are composed from the tick data. The data is stored locally in the browser.
Tick Data Import - 1.8 million barts
Higher Time-frame data composed from Ticks
A future version of the backtester will be able to open positions within the bars without ambiguity ![]()
Trade safe!
