Thx, Lorbax.


What I can say .... I did a very interesting discover about historical data and metatrader.

Downloading Metatrader demo directly form Alpari.ru that copy of Metatrader don't download corrupted history from Metaquotes, instead it download real history directly from Alpari.

The history is the well known Alpari history without gaps or other #@*!....

The address is this : http://www.alpari.ru/download/mt/mt4setup.exe

The history has GMT+2 on Summer and GMT+1 on Winter.

This is the proof that Alpari is a very different broker ....

If you want the script now .... it's here.
I've modified also the standard "period converter" in order to generate all standard timeframes (.hst format) from one minute chart.
So I post the two script.


p.s.
I've searched in forum but without success, someone knows when the newbie post will not more moderated?
I understand this measure to avoid messages from chinese wholesales suppliers, but after one or two messages should be clear user intentions.


p.p.s.
Many thanks to moderators, I'm a member now!
Can you or someone else please explain how to use this MQ5-MQ4 conversion script.

2. I double click it, but where do i put the EURUSDM1.csv file or should i say how do i choose it?

Hi, input MQ5 .csv file must be located in /experts/files of MQ4 installation path, the new converted file will be in the same directory.
The running script will cretae a new .csv with the name you can find in external variables.
After generation you should delete all history on that pair with MT4 not running, then run MT4 and import in history center 1 minute bars selecting the new converted/generated file.

Thanks!
I'm so glad I found this, but notice that the latest gap (15-10-10 to 04-11-10) is still there on the alpari.ru data... Maybe they periodically update their data to fill the Meta Quotes gaps and just haven't done this gap yet?
All the other gaps that were bothering me seem to have gone.

Hello if you don't know how to use MT5 I think you should ask in a MT5 forum like this : http://www.mql5.com/

Frankly I don't know where historical data is download in MT5.
In MT4 before downloading new data you read a disclaimer if the data you are going to download came from Metaquotes.
I will never use MT5 until Metaquotes will not remove the single position for pair "feature".

This is my first post here I would appreciate some help regarding the csv mq5 2 csv mq4 converter .
I have followed instructions but when I try to convert the mq5 file it doesn't work.
When I try to load the input file it wants to find a "set" file in the preset folder so i select all files and it doesn't work. any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks anyway.

seldom look into historical data, never encountered this issue before, just watch what impact it will bring.
