Is anyone familiar with a quality tick database? Free if possible.
I've been searching a lot lately, but can't find a good one. I'm thinking of creating my own. Patience is a virtue. |

well i've heard that gain capital offers the largest database however it's not the best as it has a lot of gaps.
you can also get some data from Oanda. on both cases however you will need to open an account. Sleep is for the weak. |

Yeah tried both. Problem with Oanda is that you can get only one free pair data at a time and it goes only back to 2004. Patience is a virtue. |

I have worked with it, and I believe the data from Dukascopy is the most reliable you can get for free.

Why are ticks worth looking for?

With good quality tick data, you can achieve 99% backtest modelling quality. At present MT4 can only achieve 90% because you cannot get below the M1 bar level......MT4 mathematically interpolates the numbers below this level which leads to inaccurate testing, especially with scalpers.
