why do i need to download history data each time i did the back test

 

when I am going to do a back testing for an ea on a currency pair , I do a downloading for the history data , if I tried to do some other back testing later , I will find no historical data , 

I need to know what's going on why I should download history frequently and how to solve this problem ?

When I am using ticks based on real ticks, whole month history is downloaded in the first run. Further runs check for synchronization (perhaps CRC), and does not download any further ticks. If I change the strategy tester to run OHLC, there is also no need for new data download. If you change the simulation period into a different month, further data is downloaded.
