Hello, I've noticed that some of the historical data downloaded through Historical Data Manager are different from the same data that you can find within JForex Historical tester for past candles.
The same ASK bar downloaded with Historical Data Manager says: OPEN: 2.73477, HIGH: 2.74825, LOW: 2.73109, CLOSE: 2.74360 The ASK bar in JForex is: OPEN_ 2.73376, HIGH: 2.74767, LOW: 2.73026, CLOSE: 2.73426
How is that possible? Are historical data in JForex different from data that are available for offline download? This is a crucial question related to reliability of back-testing activities. Hope to see clarifications soon. Thank you.

Data is identical. Consider what HT testing on real data will happen only if you choose TICKS tester period, in another case will be used interpolated data.
