Historic tick data for backtesting
17 May 2017, 20:59

Hi, does anybody know if it possible to import historical tick data into cAlgo? I would love to be able to go back as far as 01/01/1978 like in cTrader day price view. If it is possible where could I get hold of the data? Could a tick data import from CSV file not be implemented?

I think full historical tick data is so important to backtesting and only being able to backtest from 29/01/2012 is not enough I find it hard to believe that in 2017 historical tick data is still only reserved for the big wealthy institutions!

Thanks,

Chris
