How is ticks constructed from minuite data
Brian Lillard: Whould anybody be able to explain tick? I am trying to find the ticks for the minute chart read the same as the minute charts. How do you find the ticks of the minute chart and how can you read each tick within a date range.
MT4 or MT5? You did not specify!
On MetaTrader 4, tick history is not available. You can only read tick data when using an Indicator or an EA in real-time. In back-testing you can only read ticks when using 3rd party tools to generate the FXT files for the tester.
On MetaTrader 5, tick history is available, but only to a certain degree based on the broker's limits for how far back the tick history goes. To read the tick history use CopyTicks() or CopyTicksRange(). Also, just like MT4, you can also read tick data when using an Indicator or an EA in real-time. In back-testing you can also have access to real tick data, without any extra tools.
