Backtest-Tickdata, HowTo or Link
16 Oct 2014, 19:44

Hi,

I am coming from mt4 and quite new here. My first question as I couldn't find anything, is there a kind of doc. or HowTo about backtests and backtests with tickdata, which formate do the Tickdata have to be, how can I handle that?

Thanks in advance,

Gooly

In order to use tick data backtesting you need to follow these steps:

  1. Open Backtesting tab
  2. Click on Settings button
  3. Select "Tick data" mode instead of m1 bars
  4. Select date period
  5. Click on Start button

Thanks, but (how) can I use my own tickdata (csv or in another format - mte's fxt-files), or the tickdata from e.g. Dukascopy?

cAlgo doesn't provide such functionality. We will consider to implement it in the future.
