Dear all,
I am just getting into the world of EAs and MQL4 and have just programmed my first robot. I am shortly going away with work and will not have an (reliable) internet connection for some time and I am hoping to improve my MQL4 nowledge and refine by strategy whilst away.
I've searched for info about offline charts on google and here but have mostly turned up information on Renko strategies. Those pages not talking about Renko include quite alot of technical details that I don't understand.
My question is; how do I download, say a years worth of data for a selection of pairs so I can run my EA in MT4 strategy tester with no internet connection. Not neccesarily looking for the answer from you guys as I'm happy to do my own learning but could do with a shove in the right direction for an 'explanation for dummies'.
I've tried just disabling my internet connection and running the strategy tester and it appears to work for the pair that I last tested but not others so my guess is that when you select a pair, MT4 downloads the new data but deletes the data for previous pairs....could be wrong.
Cheers
