DIFFERENCIES aBOUT TICKSTORY DATA and META4 DATA

Post by daniel »

Hi, I have got some doubts,

1.- why is better tick data than meta trader historical data ?

2.- if TD is better, how can I be sure than the data is the best for my broker and broker time, are the ticks the same in every broker???

So, can I expect is closer to reality tick data than meta4 data in a ROBOT TESTER in meta4?

thanks a lot

Hi Daniel,

Ticks are not the same with every broker and in-fact even with the same broker, you could not definitively say that a set of historical data is likely to match what happens in the future ("past results do not guarantee future results").

Here is a post which should answer most of your questions about back-testing with tick data:

Hope this helps.
