MT5 Tick Data is a product by FEATrading OÜ, a European fintech company based in Tallinn, Estonia, specializing in professional market data solutions. MT5 Tick Data provides institutional-grade historical tick data for MetaTrader 5, enabling users to validate strategies with 100% modeling quality using authentic market data spanning over two decades. ## What MT5 Tick Data Offers MT5 Tick Data solves the problem of limited and unreliable historical data in MetaTrader 5. While MT5's built-in data typically covers only 1-3 months of real ticks (with synthetic modeled data beyond that), MT5 Tick Data delivers 20+ years of authentic tick-by-tick market data with real variable spreads and millisecond-accurate timing. This enables users to validate strategies across multiple market cycles including crashes, recoveries, and black swan events. ## Key Features - **20+ Years of Real Tick Data**: Authentic tick-by-tick market data from 2003 to today - **26 Symbols**: Covering Currencies, indices, metals, energy, and cryptocurrencies - **3 Spread Profiles per Symbol**: Low, medium, and high spread variations to match different provider conditions - **100% Modeling Quality**: The highest possible accuracy in MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester - **Monthly Updates**: Fresh data delivered every month - **One-Click Smart Installer**: Simple installation that integrates seamlessly with MetaTrader 5 - **Ultra Fast Downloads**: Any symbol downloaded in approximately 10 minutes - **Data Ownership**: Downloaded data is yours to keep, even after canceling the subscription ## Pages on This Site - [Home](https://mt5tickdata.com/): Product overview, features, pricing, and FAQs - [Why Tick Data](https://mt5tickdata.com/why-tick-data): The ultimate guide to testing and validating strategies using real tick data - [Included Symbols](https://mt5tickdata.com/included-symbols): Complete list of available symbols, tick data start dates, and spread profiles - [User Manual](https://mt5tickdata.com/user-manual): Step-by-step guide to downloading, installing, and using MT5 Tick Data - [Imprint](https://mt5tickdata.com/imprint): Legal company information - [Privacy Policy](https://mt5tickdata.com/privacy-policy): Data protection and privacy information - [Terms and Conditions](https://mt5tickdata.com/terms-and-conditions): Terms of service ## External Resources - [Documentation](https://doc.fea-trading.com/user-manuals/mt5-tick-data/symbols-and-tick-data-start): Technical documentation and user manual - [Download Center](https://my.fea-trading.com): Subscriber access to tick data downloads - [Subscribe](https://checkout.fea-trading.com/distribution-tick-data): Purchase a subscription - [FEA Trading](https://fea-trading.com): Parent company website ## Data Sources - **2003-2023**: Processed Dukascopy tick data, enhanced with realistic spread characteristics across three spread profiles (low, medium, high) - **2023 onwards**: Independently collected from dedicated servers connected to IC Markets, ensuring maximum accuracy and capturing every market spike ## Spread Profiles Each symbol is available in three spread variations: - **SPREAD_LOW**: Very optimistic spread (e.g., IC Markets raw spread account with commission) - **SPREAD_MEDIUM**: Average spread profile (e.g., IC Markets standard account without commission) - **SPREAD_HIGH**: High spread profile (e.g., RoboForex standard account without commission) The spread is the variable with the most significant impact on the performance result of any automated strategy. ## Supported Symbols 26 symbols across multiple asset classes: - **Currencies**: Major and minor currency pairs - **Indices**: Major global stock indices - **Metals**: Gold, Silver - **Energy**: Oil - **Cryptocurrencies**: Bitcoin, Ethereum ## Pricing - **Monthly Subscription**: €49/month with unlimited downloads and monthly data updates - Cancel anytime without commitment - Downloaded data remains yours after cancellation ## How It Compares **vs. MT5 Built-in Data**: MT5 provides only 1-3 months of real tick data with synthetic modeled data beyond that.
