Highest tick data feed?

What broker has the highest amount of tick data (that is generally consistent).

yes I know all tick data seems to be proportional regardless of broker.

I am asking which brokers have the highest amount of ticks coming in.

And that possibly offers mt4 demo accounts. Thank you

I am also interested in broker with a datafeed of 10 or more years.

All MT4 brokers have their own data. Or does someone know a service where I can buy the data from some brokers?

So nobody has the answer on something important that matters like this ..?

Just because there is none!

Tickdata is dependent on available liquidity providers in terms of their number and integrated volume. Next to that there is a time dependence as well. So while some brokers clearly fall behind in general, there is no broker offering the overall highest tickrate.

You might see a high tickrate on Cable with one broker while another one offers the highest for Loonie during a specific time period. To totally crumble your cookie, tickrate means nothing when slippage comes in! A tick is worthless without liquidity supporting it! Since you were talking about demo accounts, at least here this wont be a topic. But demo testing is a waste of time at all, although thats another story.

Long story short. You have to go the hard route and check brokers with overall good reviews on your own.

I lately found so many small hedge funds offering AI or ML expert advisors? You do not get good results with Machine Learning or Artifical Intelligence when you have not at least 10 years of the data of your broker you want to trade with!? And as most brokers as you mentioned offer different datasets how did these developer groups solved that problem?

How are there none? Some brokers have a less tick per minute average than another broker or more than another broker none are equal. So yes there has to be ones that have a higher on average tick data.

And I imagine that once you find ones that have a higher in general amount that it would hold true for most pairs. Although I'm only trading eurusd.

Ticks arent worthless I'm using the corresponding bid and ask data in ways that matter.

the key is in the way prices are pushed out. lets not forget, you are a retail trade(the lowest of life forms in the financial markets), retail brokers are the second.

unless you are trading off a terminal/prime broker that allows you to see each and every available quote from each stream. whatever data you are getting is aggregated.



banks>interbank(my screenshots)>||aggregator(primeXM/gold-i/onezero)*>broker's metaquote via api*>you

1) metaquote is built to show only best bid/ask so no way you are gonna be seeing true tick volume.
2) aggregators charge differently on how they send data to your brokerage. the more connectors your brokerages ask for = higher costing for them
(example CFD: to offer VIX trading to clients, initial connector set up / monthly maintenance is upwards of $30k)
(example FX: to offer EURUSD spot trading to clients, initiall connector set up / monthly maintenance is upwards of $10k , price sky rockets the more liquidity you source.)

1 connector = 1 bank's price. given metaquote shows best bid/ask = the only bank in ur broker's lp will show only tt bank's pricing so expect tick vol to be low)

if broker has 5 connectors = 5 banks pricing and metaquote shows best bid/ask = tick volume will be higher, given more lp = more changes.


btw i need to state that having connectors does not mean brokers execute thru them
|| = from aggregator portion on wards, receiving feed and execution feed are 2 different pipe lines

it is not uncommon for retail brokers to have incoming data of 1 connector to pipe into client's terminal, while having 5 or more connectors in their own risk management terminal.
(ie, if u see eurusd 1.00000 on ur terminal and bought, broker's own side which has more connectors might execute at 0.9999908. earning them 0.108 pip from u already.
