Where to find historical data

New comment
 
Hi,

I am new in using the MetaQuotes platform and the historical data that came with the platform (GBPUSD M5) went only from mid-june this year.

Is there a way to get at least the whole year 2006 in M5 for GBPUSD?

Thanks
 
hi my friend about a year ago, found that he can have 2 years historical data of GBPUSD and EURUSD. at that time no one knows that will be important today. I lost contact with him. So. any knows where to download 2 years historical data of EURUSD, USDJPY and GBPUSD?

simply send me email to fadil75@gmail.com

thanks
 
Thank you !

It helps anyway, but I was looking also for the data in M5 and on the site there is M1. I don't know if there is a way to tell the plaftorm to generate the M5 from the M1.
 
Yes, you can make any timeframe from the M1 data. I have copies of the alpari data that I have converted to M5.

Run the 'period_converter' script. I think it comes with MT4 installation, if not it is in the Code Base section on this site.
 
OK thanks very much.
I managed to get my M5 data.
 
I just posted a script on code base to deal with M1 historical data:

'periodgen'

To see data in hst file the easiest is to open history center in MT an press the import button. Browse for the file you wanr to see.

But don't hit ok button or data will imported into history center.
