Accuracy at Your Fingertips
Everything you need to get 99% modeling quality in your MT4 backtests.

There is no need to export data or manually manipulate files. Tick Data Suite handles everything behind the scenes.
Tick Data Manager
Get free tick data from multiple quality sources.
The included Tick Data Manager allows you to start downloads, configure the data range, enable spike filtering, view the details for each symbol and more.
Data is automatically processed using multithreading to take advantage of modern CPUs.
All of your tick data in one place
The Tick Data Suite employs a proprietary compression algorithm that is both fast and efficient, outperforming all other financial data storage solutions.
The centralized repository eliminates the need to maintain duplicate data for each Metatrader 4 installation.
Real Spreads
Use the actual, variable spread that is recorded in the tick data.
Instead of backtesting with a fixed spread, you can now use the real bid and ask prices as they were recorded, challenging your EAs with the conditions encountered on live servers.
Exotic bars
Determine how your strategy works when using Renko bars, Range bars, Tick bars, or Heikin-Ashi bars.
You can configure your MT4 backtests to use exotic bars with a single click, then adjust the bar configuration to evaluate how well your EA performs.
Simulate slippage
Want to ensure that your trading strategy can withstand the most challenging market conditions?
Tick Data Suite can assist you by introducing slippage into your backtests, which can be simulated in a number of modes with detailed configuration settings.
