Free access to high-quality real-time Forex prices is an important feature of Day Trading Tester. You can forward test on 10 main currency pairs provided by TrueFX.com via their WebAPI. In addition, you can save the price data for the pair you test on – to back test later.
Now, we added the Quote Saver which enables you to simultaneously record the price quotes for all the 10 currency pairs. It is especially convenient if you use our Batch Tester. You can record the latest price data during a trading week, and then test on all saved data in one go.
Another big advantage of the Quote Saver is that you can get latest price data. To download free tick data for the same time period from TrueFX.com, you will need to wait until the end of the month, since they only provide monthly files.
Quote Saver is free – but keep in mind that if you don’t have a premium license installed, you need to use the Online Simulator license.
Quote Saver is very easy to use. Make sure the Forex market is open. Start the software. Click the Online button on the Toolbar. Then click the Start button on the Real time tab:
A dialog window will pop up asking you to select the folder where to save the price quotes. Select a folder and click OK – the recording will start:
Make sure you have the rights to write in the selected directory. If a folder is write-protected, Quote Saver might not throw an error.
You can end recording at any time by clicking the Stop button.
Quote Saver writes the price quotes as 10 separate .csv files with names matching the currency pairs (e.g. EURJPY.csv).
Remember to move your previously recorded data from the folder you select fro saving. Quote Saver will rewrite the files in the folder without warning.
NOTE: When the Quote Saver is running, other products of the Suite are unavailable. However, during recording you can access the data being saved and use it to test on another computer.
Check out an example of the Forex tick by tick data that we collected with Quote Saver during entire trading week of March 20-25, 2022 .
