Large History Data gaps

New comment
 

Hello, I am having trouble with large gaps in historical data (300 plus days). I have downloaded, imported and recalculated data from several different locations for several currency pairs and consistantly have gaps through 2012 when testing with the mt4i Data Integrity checker, this is despite the 2012 data being complete in each of the files I have downloaded. So far this is happening on some NZD crosses (not all) and some of the exotic pairs I have tried. I have used several brokers MT4 platforms from build 509 to 610. I have used two different computers running different Windows operating systems with the same results. If anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Perry

Why not pay good bucks for quality tick data?

I don't think the source of the data is the problem. As I said the files I downloaded contain the 2012 data and yet as you can see the integrity test has a gap from the same day.
