Hi Andi.
Currently, I’m collecting data from Pepperstone and JFD.
Was supposed to include Axitrader but didn’t push through with it since the data coming from their demo was very insufficient to test in comparison to their live data.
I have another existing live account with IC Markets. I’m still thinking whether to include them for my data collection.
Lastly, I just want to make mention that, for diversification purposes over data collection, I’m also eyeing FxPro since I want my brokers to be in different jurisdictions as well.
(To those who might read this comment, please don’t take this as a recommendation, I’m not affiliated with any of the brokers I mentioned)
By the way Andi, I just wanted to ask for your opinion regarding data collection..
Suppose you already tested both live and demo accounts from the same broker and their historical data is already similar and relatively safe to build strategies on, do you collect data from both the live and demo accounts? Or you simply to collect from either of them (perhaps from the live account) since their historical data are already similar?
I’m asking this because I’m currently using a VPS while collecting data from both live and demo accounts from both brokers, and so obviously, the more RAM is needed for my VPS account.
Am I overdoing it with the way I’m collecting data?
Cheers,
