This is an obsolete thread/post, real ticks are now available in the Strategy Tester, and CopyTicks is working fine.

i used "real tick" combo menu but when i try to retrieve ticks BEFORE the starting point then i get 0 ticks

You can't control that directly but it's easy to work around it.
Let say you want to start a backtest from 2019.08.01, but you need week of ticks before this date, so 2019.07.25 :
1. Start a test from 2019.07.25 and once the data are synchronized stop it.
