Historical data with OEC

Posted: May 21 2014

Hello,

Is it possible that MultiCharts receive the historical data with OEC?

Or is it like with Dukascopy ?

Would it not be wise to bring up this constraint in the list of brokers Supported security types ?

In concrete terms, what are the forex brokers with which MultiCharts can get historical data ?
(Of course, I mean forex brokers with which MultiCharts can execute signals H24 without interruptions !)

Thanks in advance,

Dear StratMan,

this is what Multicharts says :

Tick-by-tick up to 7 days, intra-day up to 14 days, daily up to several years back

for any data series with OEC broker.

Sincerely,
Andy

Thank you Henry & Andy,

So in that case I have a problem :

I use a 5 range bars graph with bid & ask and the reload doesn't download the 7 days historical data...
The graph only displays the bars generated since the beginning of the connection.

However, on a 1 minute bar chart, historical data is downloaded correctly.

Is there something special to do with range bars ?

Thanks

StratMan, OEC provides only Trade quote field for historical data.
In realtime all three quote fields are streamed: Ask, Bid, Trade.

OK, Thanks, I will leave it connected for 1 year to get this OEC historic data and then backtest my strategies :-o
