How does MT4 generates "Every tick" prices in the strategy tester?
sip:
...
So how does this "every tick" data is produced from the 1 minute data?
I believe that for each minute it generates Open tick, some random ticks between & including High & Low, Close tick
Also see the article "The Algorithm of Ticks’ Generation within the Strategy Tester of the MetaTrader 5 Terminal". It discusses how it's done in MT5, but it should be similar in MT4.
Actually some of what they discuss in the above article is the difference between mt4 and mt5 re: ticks generation....

Hi,
In the history center it possible to download quots data with 1M resolution (1 minutes)
The strategy tester which works on this downloaded data may be used in "Every tick" mode. In this mode the EA is called on every tick in the history (many ticks per minutes).
So how does this "every tick" data is produced from the 1 minute data?
