Forex Tester 5 Forum

I need the step-by-step procedure for fixing bad ticks/data in 1 minute bars and tick history. I have run into a couple of these and I'm wondering if I can view the database somehow and correct the bars (or tick in tick mode).

See screenshot of IBFX USDCHF 2011.Sept.16 @ 14:16.

I just need a method to edit the high, which is obviously off.

Sorry but we do not have a way to edit database, just tell us about these ticks and we'll fix them in the database on the server

I do have to insist that you add something like this in your upcoming release. I do know that there will be an occasional bad tick, but having to re-download data is a bit much. My subscription is already expired

But anyway, I should be able to just make a simple correction locally. And yes, I can still report it so that you can fix on the server.

Bump. I also request this for ForexTester3, as I backtest all pairs at once and preloading data for my project takes a good 10 hours to do. It's too much to have to preload that long again just because some charts are unreadable due to bad ticks.

If you have such long preloading then maybe some data in the program are damaged.

Please open the Data Center, select necessary pair, click "Clear" button.
Then download data again and re-generate ticks.

This should fix the issue with preloading data.
