M1 Data Optimization accuracy
02 Jan 2024, 23:31


Hello, i need some help i know the m1 open data are not so good but when i backtest a M1 result on tick data, the results 

are always very very different and bad…it's very slow to optimize on tick data so i want to know how i can use M1 data with good precision ?

For exemple low pips strategy are bad in M1, what others informations do you have ? thanks you and sorry for my english

Hi there,

If your strategy's logic is based on tick data information e.g. uses take profit or stop loss, then you need to use tick data to get accurate results. Bar data should only be used if your strategy opens and closes positions on every bar.

Best regards,

Yes my stategy is only based on Bar close, ohh you mean the take profit/stop loss are tick based, if i use close/open bar as tp/sl the result will be accurate, it's obvious now thank you for your help
