@1odi -- there's something odd about the chart you posted. Look along the X-axis -- it jumps from August 2020 to February 2021. I've never seen that before. It is almost as if there was a gap in the data feed and your MT4 session is missing 6 months of AUDUSD data

I have the same chart issue as 1odi.. interesting.
Might be 6 month, must admit I only briefly looked.

Just thinking, question for 1odi, have you run a force download recently. I installed a fresh platform, ran force download, on market open AUDUSD obviously not setting data correctly..

Since you don't have the lost data gap and 1odi and Moodybot has, are you guys even trading the same charts ? Are these charts live or demo ? If demo which brokers demo account? And you expect FTMO copy trade based on these charts ?

Andy -- are you using one of my indicators? You know, the one R4M-Skip6MonthsData?

We've all looked at 1000's of charts -- I've never seen anything like that.

An MT4 chart is a mix of historical OHLC data and recent tick data. It can not keep a lot of tick data on hand because that would quickly grow to terabytes. If you look under the history folder you'll see OHLC data for all the pairs and timeframes. It is constantly being updated. In the screen shot below I've highlghted my AUDUSD *.hst files. You can see they vary in size from 445KB (M1 data) down to 16KB (MN data). Why not check to see if the size of your *.hst files match with mine.

With FTMO you are always trading a demo account. As for who the real broker(s) are behind the scenes, we don't know and don't care. And I'm sure that in all the years you've been trading you've never encountered a glitch in data feeds. In fact, it may not even be FTMO's fault. Maybe @moodybot is using one of my indicators that periodically deletes historical data whenever I'm in a grumpy mood...

Another idea...

1. Delete all the *.hst files in the history folder.
2. Exit MT4
3. Relaunch MT4 and open a AUDUSD H1 chart
4. Make sure the 'Scroll chart to end on incoming tick' button (along the top menu) is not depressed
5. Repeatedly press the 'Home' key to force MT4 to download more historical data from the broker's server

If you've still got a gap then that probably points to a problem with the broker's feed. FTMO uses more than one broker, which is probably why not everyone is encountering the gap.

Ah yes your indicator launched a ddos attack on the server.

Seriously such gaps only happen on demo platforms. And your indicators just went kaput.

If it's brokers feed how come your chart don't have the same problem?

"If it's brokers feed how come your chart don't have the same problem? "

As I wrote above -- they use more than one broker. And again, as I wrote above -- it could be a local MT4 application problem.

@BWilliam -- do you mean to say you've never encountered a problem with MT4? I'm sure you have. When you run into a problem you'll blame it on MT4. But when someone on this thread runs into a problem you blame it on the prop firm.

@BWilliam -- I'm beginning to think you may have an agenda when you post here...

@BWilliam -- are you the same @BWilliam who laments that people don't understand you? That your only crime is always telling the truth and calling things as they really are? Hmmmm -- maybe that was your twin brother?

To troll the rare species super traders

You guys trade on God know which brokers demo platform with 100k other people money supposedly FTMO investors. Does that sound right to you robots4me ? Don't take a genius to figure this is a pyramid scheme. IMHO

Back there I had to take evasive action because I was hung as a scammer. Btw I'm still telling the truth and calling things as they really are. Just that there're always some vested folks get offended.

@BWilliam -- you know, you may be guilty of libel. Publicly accusing a company of running a pyramid scheme with zero evidence and based only on your personal bias puts you at legal risk, if FTMO were to choose to pursue it.

Oh, so now it's "IMHO"? But just a moment ago you claimed you only spoke the truth. Your words:
"Btw I'm still telling the truth and calling things as they really are."

@BWilliam -- which is it? Do you only speak the truth or do you only speak your opinion? You've claimed both within the past 30 minutes.

Well -- wait a second. You made two cleims that were contradictary or inconsistent, at best -- (a) you tell the truth, (b) you tell what you believe.

@BWilliam -- you are the one making claims about yourself. It makes no difference what I make of them. What do YOU, @BWilliam, make of the claims that you made?

EDIT: Maybe you can wiggle out of it by saying "the truth is you make claims that you believe". That way you can have your cake and it it too...
