cBot Backtesting Quality

Hi everyone,
I noticed that the CTrade platform offers the backtesting option to test ones CBot with an imported CSV File containing Tick Data, yet it only does it with 1 Minute Bars, rendering CSV files which consist of Data changing in milliseconds useless. Is that correct? Thanks in advance for your answers

Hi ctid1601313,

Hi Panagiotis,

I based this on the Data Option in the Backtesting Settings where you can choose "m1-bars in CSV-File(open prices)", so I assume that you won't be able to work with ticks on a millisecond level. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Best regards

Hi ctid1601313,

Thanks for the clarification, I was moslty wondering why you said

 CTrade platform offers the backtesting option to test ones CBot with an imported CSV File containing Tick Data

At the moment we do not offer the possibility to import tick data, only m1 bars. So I was curious if you read something somewhere that could be misunderstood.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hi Panagiotis,

No I haven't read anything that might indicate that it is possible to import Tick Data. I just wanted to have it confirmed.

Thank you for the information.

Best regards
