Data Editor

Edit historical price data directly in MetaTrader 5 charts — intuitively and precisely. Create new data files with realistic broker spreads applied for higher-quality backtests.

What It Does

Data Editor lets you inspect, modify, and export price data directly within MetaTrader 5. Combine it with Spread Recorder data to create realistic custom datasets for backtesting.

  • Real-time price data editing in the chart view
  • Multi-timeframe compatibility
  • Automatic chart scrolling for efficient review
  • Chart connection for comparative analysis
  • Remove or reposition individual candles
  • Save and reload edited data sections
  • Multiple spread configuration options
  • Generate course-ready files with modifications applied

Better Backtests

Standard MT5 data doesn't include real broker spreads or the specific conditions your EA will face live. Data Editor bridges that gap.

By applying recorded spread data and fine-tuning your historical dataset, you get backtests that more accurately represent how your strategy will actually perform.

Works With

  • Spread Recorder output files
  • Any MT5-compatible price data
  • Custom symbol data
  • Tick & bar data from external sources
