backtesting by tick, is it available?

New comment
 

hello guys,

first of all I must say you have a wonderful forum!

My question daels with the backtesting mechanism in metatrader4.

The smallest timeframe that available for backtesting is m1, but EA's in there nature act every tick...

so there is any way that the mt4 tester will run a tics instead of m1?

and if the answer is not... how a m1 data can reflect the reality of tick data?

Thanks in advance

The Tester simulates tick data based on timeframes available in history.

do you mean that the tester interpolate the ticks between high low open and close?

and on average how many ticks there is in a minute?

I try to acheive good historical data in a ways like this:
