1 Year is certainly not enough. Please provide a good tick data from at least 2007.

Dear Trader,

We plan to provide users the ability to load ticks from .csv files. We hope it will help you.

Yes that would help like a lot. Please make a tutorial step by step on how to load it. Preferably for dukascopy from sq tick data downloader and truefx.com tick data by integral. Both are free to access.

Dear Trader,

You will be informed as soon as this functionality is available for cAlgo users. Currently we cannot specify an ETA.

Could you please give as an explanation why you think the historical data of cAlgo is bad and not usable?

Dear Trader,

ETA stands for estimated time of arrival.

RE: Loading tick files

Hello Spotware,

It has been eight years since the issue was opened, and the feature is still unavailable. Therefore, there must be a reason you do not want to provide the functionality.

Could you please share the reasons with the community, so we could make an educated decision to stay with cTrader or leave elsewhere?

We - your traders - would appreciate the ability to load not only custom m1 data but also tick, H1, D1, or whatever else data.

Thank you very much.

Michal
