Backtest/optimize/MT4 Historical Data

New comment
 

For backtesting EAs and to optimize the settings we need to have M1 data from the brokes.

So please post any links or data (free data) for it in this thread.

 

It is data for 4 main pairs since 2001 till the end of 2005, Alpari broker:

- https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/general

- https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/general

And Codersguru explained how to set this data in Metatrader and how to backtest with 90% of quality here (and the link to download the data since June 2004 till April 2006, Alpari as well).

 

just a little problem

Hi Newdigital.

Thank you for your great job and hard work to keep this forum working!

I just have a quick question. WHen I go to metatrader history center and upload some new data then I close my MT and reopen it then I go back to the history ceneter the data I just uploaded are gone and I have to input them again! Do you know a way to have the new data stay there?

Thank you
