Hello, dear Tickdata forum,
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 get some answers !
Thank you!

Hi g412,
Tickstory exports tick-level information which means every time there is a price change or activity the data is captured and output. This obviously means that many ticks can be exported within the one bar (not just the OHLC). This information is provided by Dukascopy which well reputed for providing quality historical data.
Hope this answers your questions.
