question about historical data
- MQ offers demo accounts with hist. data of Forex, Gold and Silver.
- Search with Google for brokers offering hist. data; broker recommendations are forbidden here!
- Every broker has its own way of dealing with DST and time offset.
- Daily trading hours depends on the market and the broker - ask them.

i am new in mt5 and forex. may i know how can i get 15 to 20 years historical data? better have 1min. seems the time definition is GMT+2 (winter) and GMT+3(summer), is it globally true and consistent for different brokers?
furthermore, how it defines daily trading hours, for example, what's the two time points it use to construct the daily open and close?
I recommend you to collect the data from the broker your trading with by using a EA that collects history data, because the actual ticks can vary from broker to broker.
there is some sources to get history data from the last 20 years but from my experience the results are totally different to realtime trading
