TestGenerator: no history data 'EURUSD 240' from 2010.01.01 to 2010.12.31

Hi guys,

I wanna know how to import more history in mt4 for backtesting the oldest history as possible.

Thank you.

1. If you don't have any history, here's how you can get all available from your broker.
   • Most brokers only have 32 or 65K bars of history per timeframe. That's 45 days of M1, 2.5 years on M15, etc.
   • Quickly DL all available history from your broker: Problem loading historical data - MQL4 and MetaTrader 4 - MQL4 programming forum
2. Otherwise use the History Center
             User Interface - MetaTrader 4 Help

I followed exactly all the steps to download history from the broker and it just add the bar created to the chart, no download, no filling up any time gap,  I don't know why nothing happened.

For the second option, I don't see anything in this User Interface - MetaTrader 4 Help to download historical data.
