No third party software required - just place the read-only data (unzipped) in your \tester\history directory for 99% accuracy in backtests.

Ensure you have "Use Date" ticked in Strategy tester, and that the "From" and "To" dates to be backtested are fully contained within the fxt file and that the correct timeframe is selected and the "Every tick" model is selected.
