Hello all

I was wondering if anyone know how to load up more bars on MT4? Right now im trying to test some strategy on the 15min timeframe on MT4, but it seems that the bar history just go back to jan 2019, anyone know if is possible to get more data history like til 2017 or even more?

I have also done increase the ”max bars in history” and "max bars in chart" in MetaTrader 4, i have set it to 2147483647 if anyone is asking.

Hi everyone, I would like to download more historical price data to MT4 in order to do better backtesting in the strategy tester. I know that this can be done in the history center/download, but there are some aspects that are not clear to me: the data I have at the moment in the MT4 are the data of my broker and I would not like to lose/overwrite them with third party data. Before downloading, can I decide whether to download only the data that refer to the period prior to the data already present in order to keep the broker's data? (e.g. if the broker's data in MT4 start from January 2020, can I decide to download from MetaQuotes ONLY the data BEFORE January 2020)? In this case I could proceed because the most recent period would be preserved, but if it would be overwritten by the MetaQuotes data, then I would have to find another method. Can you help me on this aspect? Thank you very much.
