Why cannot choose 1 minutes data to build strategies

Why cannot choose 1 minutes data to build strategies?

i download it from tick SQ downloader

Hello,

if you import M5 data you cannot use 1min testing. You need to either import 1min or tick data

Use tick downloader (https://strategyquant.com/tickdownloader/) To get DKS Tick Data for gold, import to SQ (Note point value for gold is 100$, pip/tick size is 0.01 and pip/tick step is 0.001 (Which is the step dukascopy use for gold), and you can use Tick/1min.

only M1 can use 1 minutes data (slow)?

M5,M30,H1,H4,D1 cannot choose 1 minutes data(slow)?

I think you got a confusion.

If you want to find 4H strategies, that doesn’t mean you need to download 4H data.

Always download tick data, and always use tick data CSV when importing DKS data for a certain symbol in SQ data manager.

Now when you generate strategies, you can use any precision you choose (tick, 1 min, selected timeframe only..), to build a strategy which trades on any timeframe you choose (5 mins, 15 minutes, 30 mins, 1H, 4H, 1D..).

Hello,

you can import 1min data or tick data then you can select any higher timeframe wanted

if you want use 5M data, you need to import tick data or 1M data,

if 15M data, import tick or 1M or 5M,

if 30M data, import tick or 1M or 5M or 15M,

……

for realiable backtest always use as minimum 1M precision
