Hi,
I've tested macd sample ea with the same settings both on mt5 alpari tick data and activtrades mt4 tick data downloaded from dukascopy and imported with Birt's Tick data suite. Period is from 2012 10 20 to 2013 10 19.
Results are very different: on mt4 I have -637.78 profit. On mt5 I have -134.83?
Why this difference?
Are tick data on mt5 affordable? I would like to migrate to mt5 from mt4 due to the very time consuming and headache generating nature of mt4 strategy tester.
