Data problem... IBFX or MT4?

So i was looking at some data of a backtest I just did and noticed that I'm missing data between 2006.01.05 and 2006.01.23 but I still made the profit? My expert does several trades everyday but here theres a big gap and then poof theres $8,000 that appears


28686	2006.01.05 11:18	buy	14344	0.10	1.2163	1.2093	1.2181	

28687	2006.01.05 11:18	t/p	14344	0.10	1.2181	1.2093	1.2181	18.00	163728.64

30313	2006.01.23 00:52	buy	15157	0.05	1.2248	1.2178	1.2266	

30318	2006.01.23 01:22	close	15157	0.05	1.2235	1.2178	1.2266	-6.50	171790.66

What do you think this is caused by?

has this happened to anyone else? its quite odd

seems to happen more than once..

8271	2005.06.19 23:57	buy	4136	0.05	1.2218	1.2148	1.2236	

8272	2005.06.20 01:52	t/p	4136	0.05	1.2236	1.2148	1.2236	8.57	49044.88

16273	2005.08.03 09:25	buy	8137	0.05	1.2322	1.2252	1.2340	

16302	2005.08.03 12:12	close	8137	0.05	1.2319	1.2252	1.2340	-1.50	95160.68

do you think it's because I tested out from 2005.01.01 to 2006.10.30 ?

my file is 9.3Mb right now so you think it skipped some data from showing?

Sorry for the third post but I need these things seperate... so it shows up in MT4 itself, but when I saved the file it didn't show all the trades...

IBFX has admitted that their back data has problems - the further back you go the more errors and gaps there are. The best data comes from Alpari.

That looks interesting and I will be sure to use it, but my question really revolves around why does it show in the MT4 itself and not on the saved file..
