546	SDC 2010.06.14 05:33 what is the proper way to make mt4 download more previous data from the broker ? Some people say just keep scrolling back but this isnt working for me my chart wont scroll back past december 12 2009 it stops right there in every timeframe.

Strategy Tester: Modes of Modeling during Testing

Many programs of technical analysis allow to test trading strategies on history data. In the most cases, the testing is conducted on already completed data without any attempts to model the trends within a price bar. It was made quickly, but not precisely

546	SDC 2010.06.14 07:07 I followed those instructions it put a fake bar on my chart with the fake date but it wouldnt fill in the gap between it and the first real one when i hit refresh chart the data stays the same as before

716	1005phillip 2010.06.14 15:12 Then that means your broker really doesn't have any more data to give you. You can try this post http://forum.mql4.com/23484#284797 to get more data if you need, but it isn't the same as having the data from your broker of course.

SDC that is odd, I haven't come across a broker yet (limited experience on my part I admit) that doesn't have daily/weekly/monthly data that goes back to ~1979. Some of the crosspairs, like CADJPY, do have limited data going only back to ~2006 regardless the broker.

546	SDC 2010.06.15 19:27 I dont understand it either, especially as the pair I was refering to in the above list is EURUSD

716	1005phillip 2010.06.15 20:16 What broker? (not that my knowing your broker will enable me to resolve your conundrum, rather I'm just curious)
