Streaming Simulated Data

does anyone know where you might get streaming simulated data you can plug into metatrader or how to be a data provider for metatrader?

Well you could download history data into metatrader, go back to the begining and start pressing the F12 key to scroll forward 1 candle at a time, you just have to search for history data for the time frame you are after, Alpari have 1 minute and daily history:

i have found that the back tester is pretty much garbage. If i could stream old tick data through it it would work though.

According to this even Tradstation only have 30 days worth of ticks.............

Only other thing I can suggest is ask those guys how far back their ticks go seeing they supply data to their Tradestation type platform, [cut the address above back to it's shortest form and then look for MCFX charting software, I not even supposed to be posting links untill I have 50 posts, I think it is] I think they use FXCM's data feed but store it themselves.

i was thinking if i could get simulated data it would always be tick based. there is simulated data out there, i just dont know how to hook it up to mt4
