Can anyone help make my realtime script pull historic data?

I know this may require a complete rebuild/rework of the script, but I'm hoping that's not the case here. I am an awful programmer, and this & my other scripts were built very slowly like models made of popsicle sticks. But they work.

I run this script regularly (looks only at D1(0) and D1(1) ) but I have not saved the output/data over time. I'm setting up a SQL instance now and would like to run this script against my broker's historic data to populate a DB table with the script's results from that historic data.

I don't even know if this is possible (script/csv output limitations or general MT4 limitations, etc) ...so thanks for looking and any advice or help is very much appreciated.

I'm not sure this will help but
With Java, you can get realtime data from Dukascopy, LMAX, FXCM
With C#, you can get realtime data from LMAX, FXCM, cTrader Brokers (Spotware Connect Open API)
cTrader offer FIX connection regardless deposit amount (I'm not try yet).

MT4 Sucks!!!
When you lose, I'm the loudest who laugh at your face )

Thanks, Zelo.

If anyone knows of a script that exports results from historic data, please point me to it. I have to rebuild this thing. I'm sure there are multiple ways to code it, but I have no idea (yet).

Thanks

I found a script (02Histo_ranges_v0_10.mq4 attached) here and I *think* the time-based logic will work to apply my script over a period of time. I just have to figure out how to combine the two.

Implementing the time functions themselves around my original script will be the first unholy task. Then, I guess the only thing to consider is output.

Even if there are no failures or gaps in my HST data, is it reasonable to expect MT4 to produce a reliable result from this sort of operation (against the last 1,000 days, for example)? Would I be better off taking the HSTs' data into SQL and just abandoning MT4/MQL4?

For what it's worth, this is the format I've landed on for the CSV output / SQL table config:

Quote
date,cx,pc,hod,dow,doy,dom,mo,yr
2016.10.04,JPY,-1.1699,8,2,278,4,10,2016
2016.10.04,EUR,-0.2461,8,2,278,4,10,2016
2016.10.04,GBP,-0.8589,8,2,278,4,10,2016
2016.10.04,USD,0.2061,8,2,278,4,10,2016
2016.10.04,CHF,0.4498,8,2,278,4,10,2016
2016.10.04,CAD,0.4435,8,2,278,4,10,2016
2016.10.04,AUD,0.7455,8,2,278,4,10,2016
2016.10.04,NZD,0.8113,8,2,278,4,10,2016

I'll also attach my original script with updated output to match the format above.

Thanks for letting me nurse my own thread along. If any programming geniuses see this and can offer any kind of advice or opinions, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Hi Cyber1. That link doesn't work for me, unfortunately. "Search results expired. URLs for search results cannot currently be shared with others."
