Why Tick Data?
Metatrader 4 backtesting uses prices that are randomly generated from bar data. By a process of interpolation, it uses the bar price data together with the tick count to generate the prices for each bar so that they start at the bar open price, touch the bar high and low, ending at the close price. If a position has both its SL and its TP within a bar's price range, it's a coin toss whether it will hit stop/loss or take profit.
Accurate trading simulation
Tick Data Suite is committed to providing the best possible simulation precision in backtests.
Where traditionally Metatrader 4 only allows backtesting with a fixed spread, TDS goes one step further and lets your backtests use real, variable spread, just like most brokers are offering nowadays. You can even configure it to make it resemble the spread of your live account.
Tick Data Suite even goes as far as making it possible to simulate slippage.
