Copy MT5 custom symbol ticks to native symbol ticks

 

Hi Forum,

I would like to use tick data from TDS on MT5, I can export to custom symbols, but I really would like to export to native symbols (so that I dont need to change my EAs preset).

What I have tried so far are:


1) Export ticks to custom symbols

2) Copy the tick history under bases/custom/ticks to base/mybroker-live/ticks


However, when I do backtesting, the log shows ticks; error on opening. Would be so nice if anyone can guide me how can I achieve my goal.


Many thanks!
