Interesting topic for many: what's new in MetaTrader 4 and MQL4 - big changes on the way - page 40

Plus, this will appreciate the 0.1% of customers and the load on the servers, questions to the tech support and other costs will be more. I.e. there is pure business - is the game worth the candle. Apparently MQ decided for all brokerage companies and brokers - not worth it)))

That's where it gets tricky :)

0.1% of clients can rent VPS, order a tick collector and a tester, and they will be happy. But the mass client does not care, to put it mildly.

We do so, for example ;) So why require McDonald's to put truffles on the menu when you can eat them elsewhere?)
 

Announcement, I want an announcement :)

ZS How many days and nights are left?

 
Contender:
Renat, I am well aware that the question is unpleasant for you. It has been raised many times and the answer is always the same. But agree that it is MT5 that shows bars of who knows what periods instead of holes. And you cannot use your own collected or obtained in any other way.

I disagree categorically.

But if you like to turn off your head and beat someone else's gate with it, then don't be offended - explanations have been given many times even in this thread alone.

As soon as the beta is ready, we'll release it publicly. There's no way to speed up the process with appeals.

That makes sense.

// But then again, an MT tester without an asc history works asymmetrically. It's a medical fact.

// Hrenfks pointed it out absolutely precisely, I discovered it without him in fact (and not only me), I just couldn't understand "what's the point".

I wonder how much is ready, 20% at 88% :)

Although I understand that the last half % may take a week, everything is very relative.

But personally according to your estimates? so as not to touch the experts distracting from their work.

Yes, that's why strategies that can be tested on mt should be quite "thick" in terms of mo and targets/stops. Otherwise you have to use a self-written tester. It's easy enough to do in modern languages
 

Renat:

1. it has been discussed a hundred times. there is no guaranteed tick history and no one will provide it. a trader's wish is not a broker's opportunity. brokers nowadays even a normal minute history in most cases cannot provide.


2. we have 2 pure architectures that fly in parallel - MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. with MetaTrader 5 being a head start.

The process is already underway...

tick history http://forum.alpari.ru/showthread.php?t=79168


Tick history http://www.gkfx.ru/trade_specs/tick_history.html

Quote history http://www.gkfx.ru/trade_specs/quotes_archive.html


History of ticks and quotes archive http://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/russian/about/philosophy-of-transparency/


But there is no guarantee (because there are problems with connection - provider), when you have to collect it yourself.

+ There is no guarantee that DC will delete ticks and record other values, but the same may happen with M1, M5... any other quotes history at any time and over time (including MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 quotes), but it is possible to trace all these specially/unintentionally created situations, when there is a downloadable history of ticks (quotes) and the possibility to test it in the tester ( MetaTrader 4).

+ When testing on M1 the following inaccuracies occur https://www.mql5.com/ru/forum/1031/page18

You've got it all. The person who needs to use QuotesDownloader can download the glass as well. And excellent tick quotes for bids and asks and with volumes separately on Dukas. If some regularity is observed on such data and it is not adjustment or coincidence, then it may work with some small adjustments on other brokers' data as well.

You just do not need to use MT5 as a research platform, you can develop your TS in other softwares, and then rewrite the final algorithm on MT5.

Research in MT5 is extremely slow and inconvenient, as in MT4. But you can trade.
