that is why you always get 25% quality on M1 backtesting
if you want real ticks then log them dont use backtester

According to the broker from which I obtained this data, the fxt file is what MT creates from the hst data. They are saying that the fxt file emulates the server. The broker states that the fxt which they included is not emulation, but actual tick data recorded from their server. I am just going on what they are telling me. I hope it helps. I have always been able to get 90% or better. It is possible that the file was corrupted from compression. The original file that they sent was 99Mb
