Why so much data in Ticks and EditMode folders?
Posted: Tue Jun 05, 2012 3:37 am
I have all of the currency pairs for interbankfx ticks. So in the ForexTester2\data\Ticks folder, there is 22GB of data (appx 800MB in each xxxxxx.ask and xxxxxx.dat files; xxxxxx = currency pair) . This is understandable for 2 years of data. my problem is that the other folder,
ForexTester2\data\EditMode is 18GB of data.
Questions:
1) why are there 2 different folders of data?
2) can there just be one master datafile (\Ticks) and then I pull from this file only when I need? There's no point in having duplicate data if i do not need to.
Any other tips helpful.
PS: how can I migrate, or move my data folder to a different computer or hard drive?
