Using Stored Tick Data for indicator calculation
Posted: Oct 22 2006
Hi,
Does MC have or has planned a feature for using stored tick data when calculating indicators / back-testing strategies?
If it is currently possible, how do I invoke it for an indicator/strategy?
I know that I can check the "Update Every Tick" check box in the properties page for an indicator, thus having it run for every tick in "live" mode...
I would like to be able to "extend" the usability of this feature for loading historical charts (and their indicators) and running back-testing...
I know that TS has a limited feature of this sort, allowing for tick-data to be used while running strategies in back-testing (but not for ordinary indicators).
Any comment from the MC team would be greatly appreciated...
