DislikedCheck the dates you're trying to use. There is a limited amount of intraday data and you may not have it, iow, no history. Try the same dates with daily and see if it works. If so, then load up a 30 min chart and see how much 30 min data you can download by hitting "home" over and over again until it stops loading data.Ignored
DislikedNo kidding!
I've been thinking all afternoon, "gee, if I could trade like this for real, I'd be smokin'". Then, "why can't I? what's going on here?".
There may be some deception to it, since, played at full speed, the 4 hour bars take maybe 5 minutes. But, it's not the same as a 5M chart, it's like a very well-mannered 5m chart.
In real life, if I had to wait 4 hours for every one of these, the psych factor might take hold. I'll have to see how the practice changes my viewpoint.Ignored
DislikedThe vTerminal indicator does not show up on my list of custom indicators. I'm using Metatrader 4, the indicator only shows an MQ4 file, no EX4 file and I'm operating Vista. Any suggestions?

Dislikedwell great thanks for trading simulator but i am facing a problem In the period section there is no week chart option what do i do to get week chart options?Ignored
DislikedOK thanks for the link Blueruby. I got the data and followed your instructions, I seem to be able to go far back now. I notice when I went way back on 1 min chart though the candles looked really messed up. Strange.
Anyway any clue why alpari gives 2 separate files to download for each pair, the 1 min and 1 day? Why are there just those 2, if they are separating by timeframe? I would think there would be files for each time frame in that case.Ignored
