Yes i have made a export earlier so i restored form backup, Few new symbols which were not in history were not available so i have to create them manually.

Please remember that 4073 is a "beta" build. The latest official release is 4040.

4061

 
Lorentzos Roussos #: 4061

That is also a "beta" build, not an official release build. Some brokers however, may push out a "beta" build if it is crucial to some business activity of theirs.

As I stated, some brokers will push out a specific "beta" release on the "official release stage", if it is in their best interest to do so.

To test this, you can restore 4040 and clear any cached updates and see if the broker pushes out 4061 again.

If it does not, then you may have accidentality connected to a MetaQuotes demo account at one time and got the "beta" update.

im confused , each broker has their own LiveUpdate system ? or is the check looking for >= last_stable_release ?

It's normal if the beta deletes all the sources.
