Downloading 1M, 5M etc data
Posted: Mon Mar 11, 2013 8:23 am
Hi,
I trade longer time frames like 4HR etc. Therefore, I do not necessarily need tick data to do back testing. 1Min or even 5 Min data would be good enough for me. I would assume if I could download 1Min or 5Min data instead of tick data it would save both on downloading time and memory. As Dukascopy has a page where the likes of 1Min etc data could be downloaded, I was wondering if it would be possible to adapt Tickstory to not only be able to download tick data but also 1Min, 5Min etc. Got no idea how do-able it is but for me it would help a lot as the current Dukascopy functionality tends to often freeze on me halve-way thru a download.
Regards
