Hello everyone,

Is there any way to automatically redownload hst files on MT4. I need hst file to update continuously every 15 minutes for backtesting because my EA uses hst file.

Thanks everyone.

Your question is about MT4 and should be posted in the MT4/MQL4 section.

On MT4, when connected to the broker, the HST files should update automatically for symbols in the Market Watch when the chart is open or when you run a back-test for that symbol.

However, the back-tests use FXT files. If your EA is reading HST files directly, then it is a scam EA.
