Historical Data for Backtesting
fractalfreak:
Hi again FFHello,
since Tickstory does not work with Build 950, how can I get good historical data for EURUSD M1 in order to use the strategy tester?
Let's say one year, 2015.
Thx, FF
Personally, I'd never use any data except that from a real account from the broker you plan to use your EA on. If that's only 6 months instead of a year, so be it. And as has been recently discussed on these forums, you're better off to consider the MT backtester as a logic/code tester rather than a "strategy tester"
Cheers
Thx Stuart,
do you download respective data via the "history centre"?
Thx

Welcome FF. No, I don't personally use the history center centre either, that's data from the MQ servers

Sorry for the stupid question...
but how would I be able to import good historical data into the strategy tester?
When I try to pick a date range, the journal says that there is no respective data...
I would be happy with the last 6 months...
