Wealth Lab backtesting with Tick Data?

I have done quite extensive testing with tick data, but I coded a VB utility to convert the data to differerentiatable candles (yeah, I know...it sounds weird, but works fine.)

As far as I know there is no WL support for this directly.

Qcharts.
But, why you ask me about data feed provider?
They do nothing with backtesting, right?

Sure, when I want to start up, I need to get data tick data on stocks for backtesting and need a way to get that. Is there another way than from a datafeed provider?

Well, it does... lot of datafeed provider, compresses it's data.

I've seen this especially backtesting tick data...

As for Wealth-Lab... I don't remember the exact message but it won't test massive amount of data. I think it was something about excceding memory capacity... and I had a 1024 MB RAM...

I don't think there was much data... like... 1-2 years... maybe less...

Wealth-Lab is not meant for intraday use... ask glitch... he'll agree...

Does anyone here use Wealth Lab Developer for backtesting on tick data? Is it possible?

It's a pain in the ass. It's freezing all the time in the tick time frame. It's designed for backtesting swingtrading systems not daytrading. I gave up on the program until they'll come up with a version that is reliable enough and useable for real trading. At the moment it's just a nice toy for programmers to play with.
