MT5: Can I only export tick data and generate bars?

[adamwu]

Hi everyone, Tick Story is great, but I am confused about this question:
MT5 have its way to automaticly generate longer period bars form short period data. So can I only donwload tick data and let MT5 generate other period bars itself? If I do that, Is the data same as those exported directly from Tick Story?

Hi Adamwu,

I believe you need to export at least 1-minute bars to allow Metatrader 5 to automatically calculate the other bar periods.

Thanks.
