Tick data download
24 Feb 2017, 10:32

Hi 

Is there any way to pre - download tick data for ALL currency pairs from the server into the backtesting cache folder ?

This will help reduce the "Loading day 1 of day XXX" loading times, and prevent cAlgo from crashing due to memory issues.

Thanks

Tick data download

I am looking for the same....re-downloading backtest data to the cache every time is painful.

It may be feasible to download the full tick data, take a copy manual from the backtestcache folder, and then keep it on file elsewhere for re-use later......but is there not an option to KEEP the downloaded tick data indefinitely?

 

Thanks

Hi to both,

Currently there is no option to predownload all backtesting data at once. As soon as the backtesting data is downloaded, it is kept until a reason to redownload occurs e.g. software update that affects the way the data is read. Therefore if you have downloaded your data once, you will rarely need to redownload it.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis
