Import real stock data for backtests into MT5 possible?

[Marbo]

Hello guys,

I just opened a MetaQuotes demo account because they offer real time stock data from the NASDAQ but I saw that the quality of the EOD data is not the best (daily open and close is very often different from other data sources like nasdaq.com). I don't want to trade stocks with the MT5 but I want to do some analysis and backtests. Does anyone know how to import data from another source like Yahoo Finance? I only need EOD data so it's not necessary to import realtime data.

Thank you!

Search for a broker that offers the type and quality of data that you want, and then open up a demo account with them.
