weekly data won't extend longer

 

recently I bought some  MT4 compatable D1  data  --standard DDMMYYYY  OHLC -- 

data length -== about 40 years

MT4 shows me a DAILY  chart of the whole data going back 40 years -- however when I try to convert it to WEEKLY  ( W1 )

it will only show backto mid 2002 ( about 19 years )

MT$ converts it's own daily data  ( shorter length )  into weekly ok, so why won't it convert all of mine 

how can I get MT4 to show a Weekly chart back further than 19 years


thanks

You can find the broker which is proposing 19 year data for traders.
Because the data/datafeed, the charts, the price on the chart, the name of the symbols on the chart, and symbols and the time of the price on the chart - all of them are related to the brokers only.

I am using this procedure all the time:

If you don't have any history, here's how you can get all available from your broker. Otherwise, you will have to download history from elsewhere.
