- Ensures local terminal data is fully synchronized with server data
- Verifies that the terminal's first data timestamp matches the server's first data timestamp
- Automatically detects data loading status
- Retries symbols that failed to load successfully
- Continues running until all symbol data is synchronized
- Supports manual interruption (via script stop function)

Usage Instructions
Method 1: Load All Symbol Data- Add all symbols you need to synchronize to the Market Watch window in MT5 terminal
- Find this script in the Navigator window
- Drag and drop the script onto any chart
- In the pop-up input parameters window, keep input bars and ticks of symbols from Market Watch as true and click "OK"
- Wait for the script to complete data synchronization for all symbols
- Check the Experts log for detailed synchronization results
Method 2: Load Single Symbol Data
- Find this script in the Navigator window
- Drag and drop the script onto any chart
- In the pop-up input parameters window, set input bars and ticks of symbols from Market Watch to false
- Enter the symbol code in input bars and ticks of One Symbol (e.g., GBPUSD) and click "OK"
- Wait for the script to complete data synchronization for that symbol
- Check the Experts log for synchronization results
Important Notes
- Network Requirements: Requires a stable internet connection; data synchronization may take considerable time
- Server Load: Loading a large number of symbols may create some load on the server
- Disk Space: Ensure sufficient hard disk space to store historical data
- Execution Time: Depending on the number of symbols and amount of historical data, the script may run from several minutes to several hours
- Manual Stop: Can be interrupted at any time through MT5's script stop function
- Symbol Validity: Ensure the input symbol code is valid on your trading server
- Market Watch Window: Before batch loading, add the required symbols to the Market Watch window
Best Practices
- First Use: Recommended to run during non-trading hours to avoid affecting live trading
- Batch Loading: If there are many symbols, add them to Market Watch window in batches for loading
- Monitor Progress: Regularly check the Experts log to understand loading progress and status
- Verify Data: After loading completes, open charts to check if historical data is complete
- Regular Updates: Run the script promptly after adding new symbols to your trading list to synchronize data
Troubleshooting
- Problem: Some symbols fail to load
- Solution: Check if the symbol is available on your server, try manually adding it to Market Watch window
- Problem: Script takes too long to run
- Solution: This is normal; large amounts of historical data require more time, please be patient
- Problem: Data still missing after synchronization
- Solution: The server may not have earlier historical data, this is a server limitation
- Problem: Script is unresponsive
- Solution: Check network connection, restart MT5 terminal and re-run the script
