Futures data for backtesting
-
Hi,
did anyone find a way to get proper futures data into MT4/MT5?
Using tickdata suite or tickstory data only gives me fx brokers not exchange data.
Thanks -
I'm also interested in that.
-
I would be interested to know too. Which broker are you using?
I was looking at AMP Futures because they allow MT5, and it seems that you can get data from them. I haven't look in details.

Yes I was looking into AMP as well, in deed.
They provide at least realtime data and for the ES data back to 97 which is not bad.
So fat I trade mainly on IB but opening a little account with them could solve the issue.
I will give it a try. -
Download Darwinex data, is free
-
Interesting. They use IB data which is exchange data, true. Will give it a shot and see how it works.
Thanks for the tip! -
Data is market data, it may be slightly different on different brokers, but for example, XAUUSD has the same price movement across everything (weather futures or CFD), so the real difference is how your platform interprets and uses it, futures are not 24/5 like forex.
