Why MT have 2 history data bank?

 
Hello

I am just wondering why MT uses 2 historical dbases for data, as i can see an HST file and one FXT.
Wouldn't it have been better to have just one of these?

I suggest that the next version of MT will have only one history data bank

Thanks

HST and FXT files have different types of history data. And they mean for different tasks.
 
thanks Tatyana

I know the difference between the 2 file format, but my question is:
why there are 2 dbaseses of data instead of 1 dbase?

would be occupied half space on the HD

thanks for your time

The matter is that FXT-files are modeled by tester and contain ticks data, for example, but not data of bars.
