Hello,
My broker is Alpari said that keeps tick data for less than a year, so I am looking for a reliable tick data to run my strategy tester with a 99% accurate results.
anybody can point me in the right direction to get this TICK DATA /
Does the MT5 Strategy tester use tick data ?

The thing is that I got a mt5 EA and want to test is to see how it does during the last 15 years o so. The EA will place trades on certain levels (every 50 to 200 pips) so it is not a fast EA that opens trades every 5 pips. I don't know how this affects if mt5 has not tick data.
So, what will be the best way to get a reliable backtest ? should I try with mt4?
thanks

I have not idea if this is possible. For that reason I am asking around. This is the first time that I get into mt5, so everything is new to me.

Can I get DAta MT5, 1 minute OHLC at least? If I have to do everything in mt4 I need to change the EA too.
let me read the link
Not very good. So doing back test on strategy tester is completely useless. What's the point if you can not rely on it?
I need to test this EA somewhere, someway . Any ideas?
thanks
Sorry, you can use real tick data in MT5.
Perhaps some commercial trade platform or trading simulator will help - you may want to do specific-Google-search like forex trading simulator or something. The problem is, these trade/simulator platforms may use different language, so you may have to re-write your code for that trade/simulator platforms.
