- Question on historical data
- How History Center in MT4 calculate volume from OHLC data?
- Historical data differences...?
Hi Wackena, good showing on the Contest.
The Download function downloads a history from Metaquotes (ultimate source unknown) and
bears no relation to any individual Dealer's charts in price or time (IMHO).
It gives you a warning to that effect.
You can try it out, there is no harm in later deleting everything in the History
folder and starting over,
if you wipe it all it is rebuilt from your Dealer.
Or, copy the contents of your current history for safekeeping, and then play.
