additional tick data source: Global Prime Au....

I wanted to suggest a new free tick data source: Global Prime Au. You can reach out to A$Af at support at globalprime.com or via the discord. Their data is free, but limited to live clients only. It would be great if software like TickStory can use them as a tick data source. TickStory admin would h...

Re: Faster backtest with x second interval/timeframe

I have an even better idea, and it would be easier to implement. When generating CSV file or fxt file , why not have an option to "skip every x tick" ? x amount of ticks to evaluate before skipping the next tick. x=0 // disable; process all ticks x=1 // skip every tick (not used unless you want empt...

Re: Faster backtest with x second interval/timeframe

.......... The implementation approach we would like to take is to filter the FXT file. This is a proven method and fits in exactly with the current MT4 FXT generation model so therefore wont easily be broken by future MT4 releases. I think it's worthwhile to note that we are all talking about the ...

Re: Faster backtest with x second interval/timeframe

I would love to see something like this as I agree that the backtests (for grids or any strategy that needs smaller than 1 min granularity) that 1 - 5 second granularity would be a great compromise. But remember, it is originally a mt4 limitation (not allowing seconds chart timeframes), so we are cr...

Re: v1.7 Released!

^^ You'd have to notate this when you release the newer version that for those needing variable spreads to either use < = b910 or use TDS. I was wondering if the paid version of TickStory has variable spread support (or plans to). And also, can Tickstory overcome 2GB limit?

Re: v1.6 Released!

Can you introduce variable spreads for your backtests in 1.6+? Either in the csv to fxt or when launched? Similar to Birt's TDS.

Also, can you launch more than one copy of mt4 from the same folder?

Re: v1.6 Released!

- will you be supporting variable spreads for the tester? One of the reasons I use TDS is because they allow variable spreads during backtesting. - Also, will there be a scheduler where it will automatically launch and download data every so often? Can certain pairs be exported to csv or fxt automat...

Re: Dukascopy WTI crude oil symbol change

Is crude oil and light crude oil not two different things? http://www.icmarkets.com/forex-trading/commodities-trading/ Brent crude oil and WTI Light crude oil are indeed two separate products, although generally positively correlated. Hi 4EverMaAT, This change has been noted and will be included in...

Dukascopy WTI crude oil symbol change

Dukascopy has confirmed that cfd WTI crude oil WTICMDUSD has changed symbol names to LIGHT.CMD/USD . Can you update your list to reflect this change along with any other recent symbol changes?
