Looking or help in this area and discussion - has anybody got any experience working with this combination fro analysis and backtesting? Tried googling without much up to date info...
I hate MT4 and MT5. Such weird thing. I mean If you need communicate with external languages or programs or want to data stream to external application it becomes a pain in ass. Or you need communicate with Mysql or other databases. after such long time no support unix systems. That is really horrible.

The DDE doesn't export volumes. Do you imagine how big will be file if you export all you need in csv or exel file ? You need at least SQL. You have to use things like Rabbit MQ, zeroMQ, sokets, pipes or other thing to get real data. What if you use wine on linux ? No DDE available, no way to use iBUS. Its really painful. So old software and so poor data export solutions. I think they think that it is best software. If you want to make serious things, not only line drawing you need streaming data export, which is writing lots of hacks. Imagine it if you are not programmer.

Ignored
there is no real volume in Forex, tick volume is worthless.
that being said, Op didn't say if he needed his data to be Live, he can still export his data manually as cvs file including volume (as worthless as it maybe).
