Hello guys,

Need to perform some tests on the S & P500, do I download the Dukascopy but my broker is ActivTrades.

What procedure to generate a continuous series of 2 years for backtests?

Best regards

Hi Pandion3,

Have you checked out our video primer:

This should get you started with the basics. At the moment all data is sourced from Dukascopy since they provide quality tick data. This is likely to give you a much better indication of your EA's performance than the standard MT4 data which is at best 1-minute.

Hope this helps.
