Hello
Just have a question about the trading simulator V Hands - or any other trading simulator for that matter...
Meta trader only collects tic data in the form of how many tics are in a certain bar (volume). The trading simulators then use this "volume" data from the M1 timeframe along with the open high low and close data to then "replay" the market from previous days...
What I don't get is how can the simulator be ticking up and down on each bar accurately when (as far as I know) meta trader doen't collect the acutual price value of each individual tic...
So would I be right in saying that when using a simulator that using "each tik" as oposed to using "open prices only" is pointless?
Or am I missing something here?
What I mean is - Is each tick on trading simulators the way actually happened tick to tick? I dn't see how this is possible
Hope this makes sense
Cheers
