Hi All,

Is it possible to download the backtest data to an external format through the platform?

Essentially I'm trying to get the backtest data in a format such as CSV to run through an external system to then feed back into an indicator.

Thanks.

There is unfortunately no such function within the platform.

One option would be to write a cBot that writes every tick in OnTick to a file and then run a backtest with the historical tick data that you want to export.

Good idea, I hadn't thought of that!

I had resorted to historical data from dukascopy although there seems to be much debate around the completeness of the data.

Thanks.

See: /algos/cbots/show/591   for the first 1/2 of what you wanted.  I had not planned to release the other have but might do so if there is sufficient interest.
