Getting more M1 data for back testing RB

I really would like to go thru a few years worth of backtesting some Range Bar charts, but it seems mt4 will only load a couple of months of m1 data at most and the Range Bars are built off the m1 data.

Does anyone know any tricks, workarounds so that I can generate Range Bar charts for data going back a few years ?


cheers

Easiest way do download historical data is hit F2 select the pair what data you need and then click download.
Also make sure that you increase the amount of bars charts are showing by clicking TOOLS/Options and then increase the numbers there on the second TAB.
NB!! If you increase those number a lot and you are using "heavy" indicators then you platform may get slower.

I do not recommend using standard MT4 data from history center, there are a lot of "holes".
Also if you plan testing RB then you may need tick data, so consider importing some good tick data instead.
Take a look on this tick data source. Or find your own source.
Let me know if you have difficulties with importing tick data into MT4 and I'll help you.
