As the current version of MT4 does not support backtesting with real tick data, I am looking for a software that enables MT4 to do this. I am aware of the Tick Data Suite (http://eareview.net/tick-data-suite) and I am ready to buy it, but I would like to first compare this software with its...

Of course not I hear you cry!!!! So have any of you found a solution to this? I am using Dukascopy data, downloaded via birts eareview, which gives me a better modelling result.

In watching some MT4 related videos online it seems that there is a way to visually see MTFs while backtesting. The approach explained is to: 1. make sure offline data is available for both timeframes 2. start the backtest (M5) and press pause 3. File-open offline - select larget timeframe data...

Using MQ4 Build 509 If I directly subtract two time values mq4 gives 0, but if stored in intermediate variables the result is correct.  (probably something to do with the  way mq4 implements the syntactic sugar to make the TIME longs look like doubles??) Run following script for demo... int start()...

Hi, when MT4 or the internet connection were closed, we have gaps in the .hst files. When MT4 or the internet connection open again, my indicator encounters these gaps. What can I do in the indicator source code, to make MT4 fill these gaps? At the moment my only workaround is to reload the...

I have been coding a function to display previous trades on a chart,  in the same way that dragging a previous trade to a chart does.
