Which Broker's Everytick Data is being used by MT5 Platform

New comment
 
Do anyone know which broker's historical data is being used as everytick backtesting option. As I have built a EA based on everytick data but in real time it is making lots of losses and then I found out that it is becuase of difference between everytick and everytick based on real tick. So, if there is anyone who knows which broker's everytick data is being used by MT5 platform.

None! "Every tick" are simulated virtual ticks, not real ticks, unlike "Every tick based on real ticks".

The Fundamentals of Testing in MetaTrader 5

MetaQuotes, 2011.05.18 13:16

What are the differences between the three modes of testing in MetaTrader 5, and what should be particularly looked for? How does the testing of an EA, trading simultaneously on multiple instruments, take place? When and how are the indicator values calculated during testing, and how are the events handled? How to synchronize the bars from different instruments during testing in an "open prices only" mode? This article aims to provide answers to these and many other questions.

The Algorithm of Ticks' Generation within the Strategy Tester of the MetaTrader 5 Terminal

MetaQuotes, 2010.06.02 17:22

MetaTrader 5 allows us to simulate automatic trading, within an embedded strategy tester, by using Expert Advisors and the MQL5 language. This type of simulation is called testing of Expert Advisors, and can be implemented using multithreaded optimization, as well as simultaneously on a number of instruments. In order to provide a thorough testing, a generation of ticks based on the available minute history, needs to be performed. This article provides a detailed description of the algorithm, by which the ticks are generated for the historical testing in the MetaTrader 5 client terminal.

is there anything out there which shows how these ticks are generated, I mean this tick are from real ticks and has been smoothen price curve by omitting repetitive ticks and filling big price gaps by synthetic tick but is there anything that shows the threshold at which certain ticks are getting omit and fill up price gaps???

No, they are not produced from real ticks. They are simulated virtual ticks.

Please pay attention to the link previously provided, and read the article!

I have added one more link to the follow-up article.

gotcha. Thanks a lot for this information. I have read pretty much of the information about how this test is generating ticks. Do you know if there is any EA of model out that mimic the same functionality as well? or is there any source code for the tester's tick generation module??
