Code to download data
Is there any way to write a file automatically from History Center? Does a simple one already exist?
I am analyzing 26 ccy pairs on 3 different time frames and looking for a very simple way to automatically download the data. Currently, I go into History Center and manually click on each ccy pair and timeframe to export and save.
I've searched but have had no luck (I did find a video, but no actual code). I've also checked the pre-loaded code/scripts in MT4 but haven't found any.
Thanks.
Read the data of the timeframe you want, wait a little and you will get your Brokers data, if you download from the History Centre you get Metaqquotes data.
I have an account through a broker and use MT4 as the trading platform. Is that still Metaquotes data or is that broker data? I always assumed that any data in MT4, as long as you had a live account with a broker, was data from that broker.
In any case, still looking for an automatic way to download data.

Data from the History Centre is from Metaquotes . . .
If you try to access data using something like iLow() and it isn't in your History and your Broker has it then it will come from your Broker . . . if you Broker doesn't have it and it's not in your history then you won't get it.
