Hi guys,

Need some help please. I would like to back test my trading system manually on a demo MT4 account, however I cannot get the tick data to be aligned across all time frames.

For example, D1 data starts at 1/10/99 whilst M15 starts at 11/05/07 and M5 starts at 17/02/09. I would like all data to start from 1/10/99.

I have tried downloading new M1 data via History Center and applying the period_converter script as 5, 15 and 1440 but it doesn't seem to respond?

Please help! Thanks guys

Delete all old data, don't connect to MT server, download M1 data and convert it to all needed timeframes. You'll be using offline charts (File->Open offline), not online.
