I just upgraded from FT1 v12, to ver2(haven't recieved confirmation yet....

but I am wondering how to import and use data on other financial vehicles like indexes, futures, etc.

Hi, I'm new here.

I want to ask about this problem too, because my trading strategies depends on many markets, including futures, bonds, metals, and CFDs.

Can we just import any MT4 Compatible History to Forextester 2? as long as we have the M1 TF or will any TF do?

I'd like to consider this before buying the software, because it's critical to my business.

Thank You.

Yes, you can import different data not only Forex. Just create new symbol in symbol list and set there type of Stock or CFD. Then import history to this symbol.

About timeframes, any timeframe will be treated like M1, so if you import H1, for example, you will have 1 candle on timeframes lower H1 per hour, but H1 and higher timeframes will be ok. It is not recommended then to use lower timeframes then H1 - they will be not accurate.

I have defined Symbols and file layouts for Futures data, I am doing OK with Currencies, but have strange results for e-mini
I have attached my Symbol definition for A6 (AUDUSD) and YM (e-mini DOW) for YM what do you think of the Currencies for Margin, Lot and Base? What do you think of the point values (Scale and Tick)?
