Hi, Everybody.
This is my first post, so pls take it easy on me. I have done a search on the forum, but could not find an answer to my question.
Having failed to obtain historical tick data from two brokers I am using I decided to collect it myself going forward. (1 min data from Metaquotes or others doesnt allow me testing my strategy) . I have spoken to Forex Tester, but they do not have the tick data on brokers and pairs I require.
I am trying to find a way to record a tick data in Excel (through getting it from MT4 via DDE). I know that by changing a SAMPLE DDE Excel file supplied with an MT4 from the broker I can feed the required pairs data in Excel, but I need it to be stored per tick, not be overwritten by new quotes.
Do you happen to know how to do it?
I have found the following VBA script that suppose to allow to do it, but I could not get it to work:

Is there any other way to get tick data from the MT4?
I appreciate any help.
Best regards
