MT4 Tick Charts

Hello All

I am in need of some direction.

I need to view historical Tick Charts in MT4. I have search the forums and come across indicators that can generate the Tick Charts live. However this does not suit my requirements. For example I want to look at aa historical 133 Tick Chart. I have tick data in Mt4 tick format I just need an indicator/script/EA that can generate the historical charts from this data.

Currently I am using the indicator combo LogTickData/PostTickData for the real time stuff.

Can anyone help?

if you have the data in mt4 format just put the file in the history section and open an offline chart just as you would with the indicator solution you mentioned.

Thanks for the quick reply. Just to get the steps clear:

1) The Tick Files are in the history folder
2.) Open Offline Chart e.g. GBPJPYm. M1(Every Tick)
3) Apply LogTick Data
4.) Apply PostTick Data (Choose tick chart size)
5) Open Offline chart generated by the Post Tick Data

However this does not work. I get as far as 4, but the custom tick chart (133) is not generated.

Could you advise me as to where I am going wrong?

Thanks

you said the data was in MT4 format therefore, all you should need to do is create the offline file and it will show the data.

I suspect that you are actually saying that it is just tick data and it has not been chopped into mt4 bar chart data yet?

If that is the case you need to create the offline files for each tick chart you want. Again you should be able to modify the indi that creates the offiline chart to use your source file instead of incoming ticks as the source. So you would miss out the collection routine (the first indi as all it does is collect the ticks into a single file, which you already have one of those.
