Here is a quick video to explain how to import external data.
It's possible to import data from :
- Metatrader 4
- Tradingview
- Forextester
- Custom file format
We advise the users to import tick data if possible because the data will be more reliable for their backtesting. Indeed, by importing tick data, the real spread value is automatically calculated. With the 1 minute data format, the spread cannot be calculated.
Unfortunately, the Metatrader and Tradingview softwares are not able to export data under the tick format.
