Alain Verleyen: Thanks. Did you write to Metaquotes ServiceDesk ?
I haven't thought about contacting them before. Although I think that's what my broker should have done (as it seems to be a 'server side' problem) I've just reported it to them now. Let's wait for their answer.
I'm from Brazil too and use both XP and Clear accounts. I'm able to get the ticks either from MT5 terminals or through code that I developed using CopyTicks().
I suppose the problem is that you are trying to export ticks from a symbol used to compute what MT5 calls "continuous series", meaning that they assemble information from various contracts into that symbol so that you can plot a continuous chart using that symbol. They perform some calculations on the data to adjust the values based on different methods, this is why you have WIN$, WIN$D and others.
You have to use a real contract name to get the symbols, like the current WINJ18 for example.

Hi LeoBaeta,
