How Forex tick data can change your Forex vision for best
Forex Tester allows you to import an unlimited number of currency pairs and years of history data in almost any possible text format (ASCII *.csv, *.txt).
We strongly recommend importing 1-minute data for accurate testing (it is possible to import higher timeframes but testing results may not be as good).
Note: To increase the quality of testing, we recommend using specific M1 or even tick data, as it will give you almost 100% quality of testing. You can download data from our Data Service.
What are the advantages of our paid data services?
In addition to basic historical data that is included in the Forex Tester license price, we also Super Data package.
Compared to the free historical data, Super Data provides you with:
- a much bigger number of symbols for backtesting – as many as 860 different symbols, including currency pairs, stocks, indexes, commodities, futures, cryptocurrencies and metals. It is 50 times more than our free data package includes!
- a wider range of options when using our Historical News service:
- historical news for 9 main currency pairs (free data package provides users with historical news for the USD currency only)
- ability to see more types of news: all the events of low, medium and high importance
- more precise backtesting results: it is extremely important for trading strategies that depend even on small price fluctuations
- daily updates: you can even backtest the yesterday’s data
- 5-digits historical data
On top of all these benefits, our Super data package provides you with the tick-by-tick data with floating spread. By purchasing this package, you receive the most detailed price rates as they are on the real market. It is the best decision for scalping and short-term strategies.
