I suggest you to open a new demo account.

I don't know, it should, but this is a broker related issue, so contact them.

I don't think it's broker related : I tried opening new demo accounts with Roboforex, Alpari and FXCM and none downloaded new tick data
if I choose real ticks not real ticks based on history, it works though![Documentation on MQL5: Constants, Enumerations and Structures / Environment State / Account Properties Documentation on MQL5: Constants, Enumerations and Structures / Environment State / Account Properties](https://c.mql5.com/36/37/documentation-on-mql5-constants__15.png)

ok I restarted MT5 with the new demo account and it started backtesting with real ticks based on history.
that's weird because I suspected it might need a restart so I restarted but with the old account on Roboforex, and it did nothing
i was just one restart away from the solution

hi
I'm not sure if it's since the last update, but i had a demo account on Roboforex, with a lot of real tick data, and today I reopened MT5 and all the forex symbols are gone, only some crypto and russian indices are available.
i created a new account with Alpari, and there the symbols are back but not the real tick history.
When I try to backtest any EA, it doesn't download it :
when I try to backtest using real tick data
Isn't it suppose to download real tick data upon a backtest ?
what is going on ? this is disturbing
thanks for help
Jeff
