Mac User Feedback: Lack of XRP Availability in ForexTester Beta Version

Feature Request

recently purchased an account for ForexTester and logged into the Beta version since I use a Mac and can’t download the full software, which is Windows-only. However, I noticed that the Beta version doesn’t include XRP, which is essential for my trading strategies. Is there any plan to add XRP to the Beta? I’d appreciate any insights or support regarding this.

    Hi! Thanks for the suggestion.
    1. We plan to add many symbols to FTO in the future. Most likely, XRP will also be added.
    2. We do not have data for this symbol in the desktop version of Forex Tester either, but you can try to install Forex Tester on macOS using Parallels, and then import the data of this symbol into the program from another source.
    You can create a virtual machine with Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion and install Windows on it. The web offers numerous articles for how to handle this task:

    You’ll then be able to use Forex Tester at full strength.

    Forex Tester program isn’t compatible with Play on Mac, VirtualBox on Mac, and Wine.

    If you have historical data for these symbols from another source you can add them to Forex Tester and test them.

    To do that, you need to create this symbol in the Data Center window (click the “Add” button, enter the symbol name, choose the “Stock” symbol type, and press the “OK” button).

    Then select this symbol, click the “Import from a file” button and add historical data into Forex Tester.

    You will be able to import 1-minute (or higher timeframe) data into the program.

    Please note that data need to be in .txt or .csv format.
