Searching for MT5 Brokers with good history data for backtests

 

Hello, just wondering if you you know any good MT5 Brokers with good history data? 


So far i found: 

Admiral Markets (very nice history data for forex as i can tell so far)

ActivTrades (less history data, but maybe to compare EA for Spread only broker without commission)

RoboForex (less data then AM as well)

MetaQuotes.. was using this for long time, maybe not best :D 



What Brokers are you using? What i am really looking for is at least OHLC data for indices (Ger30,S&P,...) most Mt5 broker dont have them or just provide ~ 3month of data :(

Maybe we can create a list of useful brokers for backtesting ;) (i hope there is none so far, i was using search engine first, found nothing) 

 
Just download 5 years of tick data from a 3rd party supplier like tickstory and create your own custom symbol to use for optimisation and back testing. That way you won't have to speculate on the quality of your brokers historical tick data. Also advantageous if you ever have to uninstall mt5 as you will still have the .csv files to recreate the custom symbol again.
 
Discussion about brokers and naming them is not allowed here, I think.
