Howto understand tickstory tick data?

Post by g412 »

Hello, dear Tickdata forum member,

please, does anybody feel free and experienced enough to let me know how to understand the tickstory tick data ? I have exported from Tickstory Lite to MT4 the tick data for indices and by this found out that the tick data displays wihtin the MT4 as an Open-High-Low-Close data set which is set in e.g. one candlestick. By this one could be led to the conclusion that this O-H-L-C set is telling in a volume saving way 4 ticks to the MT4 for backtesting?
After having made a short comparison of a few minutes the tick data provided by tickstory is not the tick data of ETX Capital . To which data or to which data provider does the tickstory data refer for
the indices like DAX, Cac40 and S&P500 ?

Hoping to have answers for my questions I thank you for listening to those!!

Thank you!

As far as I know mt5 cannot use 3rd party tickdata!
And some people do have the fear the migration of mt4 to mt5 will sometime eliminate this feature :(

Hello,

the Data is from Dukascopy.
You can try to ask your Broker "ETX Capital" if they provide history data for customers. Usually most Brokers dont.
Dukascopy is a great exeption, becuase they offer the data for free. (they have servercosts for the high bandwith)

greetings

Hi all,

Due to recent developments in MT5 which allow use of third-party data sources, we plan to keep users updated about our MT5 support on this thread:

https://tickstory.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1018

Please feel free to add suggestions and feedback so we can determine what types of integration features are most wanted.

Thanks.
