Regarding the tickdata (demo vs real time)

Post by craneliu »

Dear Tickstory team,

During the data export to MT4, on the tag of Metatrader info, the server shows "Tickstory-Demo". That means these tick data are from demo server, not real data?

Then where can we get the real data? My understanding is the tick data from demo server is similar to the data for the demo account from forex broker. That data is quite far from the real data.

Kindly please correct my understanding, and suggest me how to get the real tick data?

Thank you very much!

Hi Craneliu,

"Tickstory demo" is merely an arbitrary name which is usually the name of your broker. It has no bearing on what type of data is used. All the data that you export with Tickstory is real tick-data sourced from Dukascopy.

Regards.
