About updating chart data
This text was translated automatically, so please excuse any awkward phrasing.
When using testing software, once a strategy is established, the main purpose shifts from backtesting several years of data to reviewing weekly or previous-day price action—or better yet, reviewing the trades made that very day.
In this case, tools like TradingView or backtesting indicators on MT4 end up being more user-friendly than FTO.
Since tick-level data isn't necessary for recent market moves, would it be possible to make it so we can review price action bar-by-bar on 1-minute or 5-minute timeframes?
On a separate note, do you have any plans to offer live streaming in the future?

Hello,
Thank you for your detailed feedback!
First, please feel free to write in your native language.
We can translate your messages on our side, so there's no need to worry about the translation quality.
I would like to clarify one part of your message. You mentioned that once a trading strategy is established, TradingView or MT4 becomes more convenient than Forex Tester Online for reviewing recent price action.
Could you please explain what exactly makes Forex Tester Online less convenient for this purpose? What specific functionality are you missing?
Regarding bar-by-bar testing, this is already possible in Forex Tester Online. Simply set the Bar Step to match your chart's timeframe (for example, 1 minute for M1 or 5 minutes for M5), and then use the Bar Forward button to advance the chart one candle at a time.
As for your last question, if I understand correctly, you're asking about live market data. We do plan to introduce real-time data in Forex Tester Online in the future, although we don't have an estimated release date yet.
I look forward to your clarification.
