Hi,


is it anyhow possible to load history data and do the backtesting on it beyond the year 1970? MT4/MT5

any suggessions where this might be possible elsewher?


Thks Volks,

 

How many datapoints do you expect in terms of volumes ?

People were trading by paper and phone.

Thks Volks,

Do you think such a backtest would have any meaningful use? The markets were very different at that time and have changed many times since then

 

Hi all,


@ Marco vd Heijden : i don't care about volumes. but i think it is very important to have all possible data from the market in order to get the accurate representation of current market behaviious. 


@ Fernando Morales: i also dont agree with the state that market changed in way that it will not repeat the 1928 crisis for example ... all economic and trading experts are looking in the past and try to predict the market in the future!. so why not looking back to 1920 if you can read something meaningfull out of the chart...
