Hi
I'm using 5year tickstory data on EUR/USD to run a strategy tester on an expert advisor based on openbars only.
However I get different results running the strategy tester in tick data mode or in open prices only.
Could this be linked to tickstory?
Thanks

Re: Strategy tester with Open prices only on tickstory data
Hi Adeller,
I suggest you compare a specific trade that your EA takes in both tick and open price mode and see why it differs. I imagine that there may be some differences in execution price depending on how the EA is written. Generally speaking, if the EA is trading on the next open bar, then you should at least see the trade taken at the same time in both modes (again, assuming there are no other variables in the EA).
Regards.
