Tickstory

My EA use H4 and D1 time frame.

I have already downloaded the tick data and export the H4 and D1 data into my MT4.

But I don't know how to use both data to backtest in the strategy tester?

Hi Sunny,

Back-testing is performed as per usual - select the time-frame in the Strategy Tester (eg. H4) and it will use that time-frame to back-test your strategy.

Hope this helps.

So I just select the lower timeframe in tester and test as usual that's it? It will automatically read the higher timeframe data?

That's it! Once you have exported data with Tickstory, it will have automatically embedded the tick data. When you test in your selected time-frame, it will automatically use the tick data. All the indicators your EA uses will work in the time-frame that has been selected.

wow I didnt know that, that is very helpful!!

Last question, Is there a way I can tell it is backtesting properly and using both tick data?

Sure - Just check that you are getting 99.9% modelling quality on your back-test report. This denotes that you are correctly using Tickstory exported data (and that you have correctly followed all the steps such as launching MT4 via Tickstory, etc).
