hi,

You can use excellive indicator for it or export it in history center.Just click export but of course you should dowload history first.

I have most CSVs (2015-Now), but just 7 files are >24GBs.
Best way is to download the data yourself as it would take ages to share files this big.

Hi
Them files are just what I am looking for, If I could download them myself I would, I have tried everything and all I can get is about 6 months at the most, You can upload the to google drive and send me a link to download them or zip the files up to email them, my email is { email address deleted by staff } if you can do anything.

Cheers

Hi, This indicator just crashes my platform when I try to get 1 years data on gbp-usd ? If I did get them on the chart how would I get the chart data into a csv file ? Kaystreet has some great files but cannot get them to me for some reason, I transfer big files all the time I cannot see what the problem is, thanks for trying to help anyway

Hi againYes you will get inti cvc file.It will create automatically in Metatrader/open data folder/Files/Nz_excellive. Its really big file so i think your platform crashes for this reason. Try this;
