Import tick data?

#1 Postby djxput » Thu Sep 03, 2015 2:40 pm

Hi,

Ive tried to find the answer to this question.

I have access to some index tick data Id like to use; can I import the data and use the tick or is it stuck to 1 min data?
Also the data is in ascii format; how hard is it to import it and how do I go about doing it?

thanks

Great program btw. (cant wait for the new version)

Hello,

Current version of Forex Tester doesn't allow to import tick data from a file, you can import only minutes data.

If you need tick data you can subscribe on our Paid Data Service and download data from our server.
You can see the full list of provided data here:

Hello,

No, these data can't be used in the program.

You can import only minutes data and they need to have the following format:
Date,Time,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume
Example:
20110405,183600,1.45000,1.45010,1.44998,1.45005,5
