Historical tick and 5mins charts

I am looking for ticks and 5mins historical charts for certain time periods. Does onyone has any idea where to get 2 years old tick charts?

You can get 1 minute data for metatrader at:
http://www.alpari-idc.com/en/dc/databank.php
You want the MT4 Format Data.

I don't know if this is the easiest way to do it but it worked for me.

1) unzip the file you download

2) In metatrader click - Tools>History Center

3) Keep Double Clicking on the Directory Tree in the left window until you find the pair you downloaded the data for, make sure you double click on the line that reads 1 minute (M1).

4) Press the Import button, go find [Browse] that unziped data file and Import it.

5) After thar then go to - Tools>Options - Charts tab

6) Crank up the "Maximum Bars in History" number, you can manually add a couple of zeros to that number if you want.

7) Close metatrader down, then reopen it again, with any luck you should be able to go back in time to where you want, if not then go to step 6) again.

The bigger "Maximum Bars in History" number is the slower metatrader and your system seems to run while your are viewing the 1 minute charts, especially if you use the cross hair and have 3 or 4 1 minute charts open ........ so once I have done my back checking I wind the "Maximum Bars in History" number back down again.

For some reason I wasn't able to edit my last post:

6b) Crank up the "Max Bars in Chart". You can manually add zeros to the drop down box numbers if needed.

7) Close metatrader down, then reopen it again, with any luck you should be able to go back in time to where you want, if not then go to step 6b) again.

Thank Dean very much ,
But I still can not see the chart in certain time. Please explain clearer for me again.
Thanks!

chucuoi you will only see it in the time frame you downloaded the data for, that site I listed to get the history data from only has 1 minute or 1 day history.

Dear Deanz
I get the history data, but I want to see it in candlestick chart. How can I do it?
Thanks!
