Problems exporting price data to excel

I'm trying to export price data from MT4 to excel, but I'm having problems getting this to work. When i go to History Center and choose a currency pair there is no history for them. When i press Download i get a warning message informing me that I'm trying to download price data from Metaquotes server and that price information might differ from that of my broker(IBFX). I then press ok on that message and then i just get a message saying that "there is no new data for that symbol". Price history still empty.

What could be wrong, and how do i set MT4 to download history from my IBFX directly?

any ideas?

I don't know of a way to download actual IBFX data through the history center. If you open a chart and press the 'page up button' after clicking the mouse on the chart, you can scroll back and download some data as IBFX fills the chart.

For the History Center; If you are using a mini account read this post. You need to increase the default number of bars in history to hold the amount of bars you want. When you pull down all MetaQuotes data and then plan to export to Excel you need to restrict how many bars of history you want to save for export. If you try to export all data from a default download of all available bars, you will end up with a file too long for Excel to open. You can also do this in the history center by deleting some of the history if the files created are too long.

Many thanks for your reply!

Your welcome. I made the setting of 'number of bars in history' sound confusing. A little trial and error and you will see what I tried to say.
