Ticks per second.

Post by Stroker »

Hello and congrats for the software.

My question is about the capacity to calculate the ticks per second in MT4, I used the Dukascopy data on Visual JForex and is possible to set 10 sec candles, this means than VJF can calculate number of ticks in a 10 sec period.

When we load the data on the MT4 Strategy tester, can a EA calculate the ticks every 10 seconds? Or is only available the "tick order inside 1 min candle"?

Thanks.

Hi Stroker,

If you are wanting to do something with the tick count within the EA, then yes, all you would need to do is maintain a counter and reset it when the minute changes. If you are wanting to export 10-second candle-sticks, the "Export to file" function supports this.

Regards.

Thankyou very much.

I have some code with "ticks per X second" analysis and works fine in MT4 with Tickstory, but are a disaster in MT5, As I can see after analize the data, the problem is a tick modeling in MT5.

Your software is very helpful.
