Hello,
I would like to backtest a trading system over long periods of time. Forextester seems a good way to get 1min data, however I'm quite puzzled: when I compare their data with my broker's data (which is also bid data), they vaguely look alike, but only vaguely.
Now, my broker's data is basically Reuters'.
I'm therefore in doubt about the validity of free forextester data.
Your opinion on this most welcome.
