Modelling quality / tick data

هذه الصفحة القانونية متاحة باللغة الإنجليزية فقط.

Historical data comes at different resolutions. Bar data records only open, high, low, close; what happened inside the bar is unknown. Testers can interpolate those gaps (fast, but fictional) or replay genuine tick-by-tick data (slower, but honest).

For strategies where intrabar sequence matters — did price hit the stop or the target first? — interpolated tests can silently invent the answer. MetaTrader's "Every tick based on real ticks" mode exists precisely for this.
