Historical Data Tick vs >

[retrofx]

If I download tick data for the historical data manager, for forex, is there any need to download higher compressions, i.e. 1 minute, day etc...?

Hello retrofx,

Thank you for your post.

Yes, historical data comes in three types; Tick, Minute and Day. Various bar types use Tick, and Minute bars use Minute data solely.
