Tick Data

Hi,

I pretty much tried everything underneath the database and I was unable to get my strategy to work with tick data. Basically, the best I was able to do, was to get Protrader to work on a random day out of 15 days or etc. The Algostudio manual that I've found online only talked about Protrader 2. I've posted about this a few months ago and just been programming on other language until the problem was fixed. If anyone was able to get this to work, please let me know how. Thanks again in advance.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I was trying to have my strategy work on the hourly timeframe, but to make it as accurate as possible, I wanted to use tick data so that the trades can be triggered as soon as the conditions are statisfied.
