HELP I cannot get history data before april 2017 / and not even 99% quality on MT5 HELP

[Gael Gourdel]

I use to backtest with mt4, tickdata suite and get 99% modelling quality.

Now i'm stuck with MT5 at this stage and i cannot backtest anything. because i dont have history data before April 2017 and no more than 50% of quality

I tried with MT5 supplied by ICmarket and MT5 from metaquotes server.

Is someone able to help me ?

The data (and data quality) is related to the broker (each broker is having its own data because data/quotes are not centralized).
So, the selecting good broker with good data/quotes is the very significant process for every trader for example.
