Convert ticks to M1 MT5
why don't use use the "backtest based on real ticks" option ? it will download tick data from broker
Hi. I have imported tick data (~12GB) from tick data suite to a custom symbol that is actually a copy of EUR_USD. I then tried to run a backtest but I got a message that there is no history. Then I got M1 data from tick data suite and imported them to MT5 for that custom symbol. I didn't get any error while or after importing. Then I started the backtest and I got the same error that there was no history. I opened the symbol dialog box and there was nothing in M1 as if I hadn't imported anything. Then I saw this post about not being able to import more than 130k data which I tried but still nothing.
Bear in mind that my data had >0 values in Tick Volume and 0 in Volume.
Any ideas?
MT5 is silent (or almost) when there is an importation issue. You should try to play with the import settings on a small excerpt of the data.
Importing ticks from Tick Date Suite to MT5 is working well.
You only need to import ticks, if it works correctly, the bars will be created automatically by MT5.

OK. Just wanted to make sure I am not doing something wrong. Tick data from tick data suite are from 2003 from dukascopy and I think it is better than some other free source. I guess other more expensive ones should be better.
I will keep trial and error...
