History Centre updated - free history of minute quotations since 1999
Released another version of History Center with updated data.
What's new:
- added M1 history for MICEX symbols since 1999
- filtering of existing forex symbols has been improved, outliers removed
- Weekly data updates are running automatically
If you have not copied up the minute data by yourself, but downloaded it from the History Center, then most likely, the whole history will be from the History Center. The history in History Center is normal (in the latest version, we have cleaned the emissions), no worse and no better than the history of any brokerage company. Only pipers can catch the difference.
When manually uploading in "on demand" mode using the Home/Page Up/Left keys, paging from the trading server takes place. At the moment the depth of paging data M1 from the trading server is ~32768 bars (month), and other periods ~16384.

If 16384 bars from the trading server on M30, that's about 341 trading days. In general, if the manual history is only for the previous year, it's completely raw, because I haven't downloaded anything from History Center. This is more than enough in my case. Since my Expert Advisor is on M30 and signals are only shown by bars formed.
And I need them because takeprofits are not implemented in trading strategy, only stoplosses are. Therefore, on the history the Expert Advisor may show somewhat worse results compared to the real one and this, in its turn, allows us to exclude the element of fitting.
Is it possible to upload history as a zip or rar or arj archives
or only through the F2->download button
I'm sitting here downloading every MT pair anew
It would be more convenient to just download via a download utility like FlashGet Reget and the like.
it would be nice to have an archive if it is not crucial and will not cost you much
all at once for each pair - you can see all the years in one archive
then just unzip it into a directory

I did so when I transferred history from one machine to another everything worked fine
Thank you for the history! ( added the last months of 2006 and even 2007 01 is in the story! GREAT! )
If you need to copy the data to another computer, simply copy the contents of the /history/downloads folder.
That's what I'm doing for now!
another question about the story
everyone knows that forex works on weekends and there are no weekends ...
the data from the HISTORY centre unfortunately there are no weekends.
there are brokers ( moneyrain ) that give quotes on Saturday and Sunday
( Please do not take it as an advertisement for a broker )
it is why the signals based on their quotes are more accurate - there are no gaps
is there any way to handle this problem?
in a word is there any plans for the weekend ?

For forex, no data is expected to be collected over the weekend.

Why is there a limit of <~32768 bars (month), and for other periods ~16384> - to avoid overloading of the brokerage company's server or for some other reason?

We recommend to re-download the history through the History Center module in the terminal. All other periods are recalculated automatically from M1, so there is no need to use period_converter script.Important: Using deep history requires a lot of computer resources. It is desirable to have at least 1-2Gb of RAM and a powerful processor for comfortable work. We strongly recommend that you monitor the "Tools - Settings - Charts - Maximum bars in chart window" parameter and set it to between 65 000 and 128 000 bars. The "Maximum history bars" parameter can be set higher, for example 10 mln - it will not seriously affect the terminal's performance.
