Can MT4 handle Tick Data?

New comment
 

Hi Everybody,

i've downloaded history tick data from Dukaskopy: http://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/data_feed/historical/?ibref=2061

You can download .hst files containing tick data as well, but can MT4 handle them? Specialy its backtester?

Is there any better extern backtester than the MT4 one?

THX for your advice!

 
Read all of this . . . http://eareview.net/tick-data it tells you how to use the Dukascopy tick data
 
Ok, thank you for the link! I'll read it all tomorrow! As i've overviewed the article the tester only uses .fxt files in the tester/history folder ...

It does . . . sort of, if you use Visual mode you also need the corresponding hst files too.
 
Beware, Dukas data is like swiss cheese. not that MT data is any better.
