Hello,
If this topic has been covered, would appreciate if someone would point me to the thread.
Otherwise, I would like to to do back testing of EA's on the strategy tester using 5m/15m
bars going back 5 years or more. Could someone please explain how I can get sufficient
data into the tester to do this.
There are lots of threads about data . . . some examples, use the search or even better use Gooogle to search this forum . . .

close all chart >close MT4> go to "history" folder, delete everything.
open MT4 > go to tool > archives, download whatever you need,
Close MT4 > open MT4 > refresh
Thanks for the replies but I need to restate the question more clearly.
I am trying to get "5 YEARS" or more of data on the 5/15 minute bars.
It seems in MT4 they give you what they have, not what you need. Probably have to
go to another source. Any help appreciated.
