Thank you Math, nice idea!
would you like to share the source code? I have things that I would like to implement that I can then post on the forum in the perspective of open source

Version 1.01 released (I updated Post 1). In this version,
1. The EA uses the standard functions of the kernel32 for file operations to deal with brokers who offer symbols with suffixes such as "EURUSD..r" that cannot be handled with FileOpenHistory() of MQL4.

Hi there MathTrader7, thanks for this EA. I tested it in a live chart and it works very well creating a beautiful tick chart.

I thought that I could do a trick to get a big historical tick chart by running your EA in a simulator, but It is not working and I donīt know why, perhaps you could explain. The simulator generates offline charts that keep in sync with the main simulator window and that got tick data, I know because the wave volume indi I use needs the ticks to work properly, you can see in the screenshot that it is working nicely. I loaded your indicator in this M1 timeframe and it seems to be working and generating the offline chart, because the chart file keeps getting bigger, but when you open the chart there is no price plotted, but you can see that the time axis keeps expanding. I am pretty sure this could work out so we donīt need to wait hours and hours to get a tick chart to study. The backtester is using .hst file generated by quantdatamanager using dukascopy tick data. When the backtester starts running (the simulator), it generates a huge .fxt file, it is almost 40GB for a period of 2 years. The tick chart generator should work.

Check those screenshots. I loaded the TickChart.PostTickData v1.1 on the simulator and it works, I can open the offline charts and they update in sync with the simulator, great! But wait, unfortunately the way TickChart.PostTickData v1.1 plots data is horrible, does not look anything like yours... Unfortunately we canīt see the source code of TickChart.PostTickData v1.1 to correct that, and I know you stuff is not open source, so I Can only rely on you to sort this out.

Hi there my friend, thanks for replying!

I wanted to know why your EA is not generating the tick chart when loaded in a chart in the simulator (I mean, it is SORT OF or almost working, as you can see in the images, I can open during the simulation the tick chart generated by your EA, but there is no price plotted, only the time axis keep expanding), whereas the TickChart.PostTickData v1.1 works. I mean, it is the same principle right? Collect the ticks and then plot the offline chart, so it should work. I wanted to be able to have your EA working properly on the simulator so I can have big tick charts to study and see the indicators working in high speed on it, and to save the offline charts to open later. The way TickChart.PostTickData v1.1 plots the chart is not good.

Can you make it work?

You can test it using the same simulator from FXBlue, it is also an EA that uses the backtester engine, you need to register a login and pass to be able to download it and the simulator is gonna ask for them when you first launch it, but only one time. It is very good to practice and test indicators:

If you want I can send you one year data (or more if you want) of high quality .hst EURUSD historical data for you to test on.

Okay, now I understand what you want my EA to do. I will think about it and I may enable it to do so. But I am very busy at the moment. It may take some time.

Why is it beta? Because there might tons of different conditions that prevents the script working properly. An update of the operating system, or a latency in the network, or any other exceptional conditions that the coder forgot to handle.

Every software is somehow in Beta phase )

And @MathTrader7, this is exactly what I was about to start coding, thanks a bunch.

Hi there buddy. It would be great if you could release a version of N-Ticks Chart Creator for MT5.

I think that you could make the EA to record a tick history file that it can reference to plot historical data. Letīs say you wanna "X" days of historical data, in MT5 you could easily accomplish that by running the N-Ticks generator in the back tester and grabbing the file generated by it. This would take a couple of minutes to do so you would not have a serious data gap in your live chart when you load the EA (the EA will reference the history chart and plot "X" days of data). Since MT5 use real ticks on the backtester, the data in the history file would be accurate.

Hi MathTrader7,

Thanks a lot for your tick and seconds chart indicator. I am running the Tick chart of various currency pairs. MT4 seem to have slowed down and freezing. If you code an unique Id to your Tick chart would that make any difference or is it conflicting with accessing the same DLL. Any help would great. Thanks again.


Cheers.

Hi claypot,

The problem is not about multiple access to the same DLL. You need faster CPU, SSD storage (not HDD!) and probably more RAM (with at least 2666 Mhz clock) to speed up the processing of fast receiving ticks of multiple Symbols.

Matt
