Downloading 1M, 5M etc data

Post by boerseun »

Hi,

I trade longer time frames like 4HR etc. Therefore, I do not necessarily need tick data to do back testing. 1Min or even 5 Min data would be good enough for me. I would assume if I could download 1Min or 5Min data instead of tick data it would save both on downloading time and memory. As Dukascopy has a page where the likes of 1Min etc data could be downloaded, I was wondering if it would be possible to adapt Tickstory to not only be able to download tick data but also 1Min, 5Min etc. Got no idea how do-able it is but for me it would help a lot as the current Dukascopy functionality tends to often freeze on me halve-way thru a download.

Regards

Hi beorseun,

At the moment Tickstory is designed for utilising high-quality tick data, however I can see how it might be useful to be able to download higher time-frames. Will add this to the list of possible enhancements.

Kind regards.
