[mohammad7521]

hi

i am trying to go back to a specified time in a lower timeframe let's say 5M but doesn't show me the data up to 2020  in let's say gbpusd in the trading panel but when

i am trying to backtest i can get data all the way back to 2010 even in the 5M timeFrame.

how is that possible??!

It depends on the broker, and it depends on MT4 or MT5.

MT4 (I am using this procedure all the time):

MT5:

But it depends on the broker anyway (all the data, charts/price and the time on the chart are related to the broker only).

For MT5:

Since for backtesting you said you have the data, but not on the chart, try increasing the maximum bars to show on chart.

Be aware that: the more you increase it, the more RAM memory will be used.
