History Center for MetaTrader 4
I checked the Daily EURUSD zip, and the last modification of the contents was 24.01.2008 - yesterday, so the data must be up to date.
I believe that regardless of the broker you got MT from, you almost always connect to the MetaQuotes server for historical data, as most brokers don't provide a separate data center you can use. Not sure about that, though, this is just my personal observation about the two-three brokers I have tried so far, and they were not IBFX, WCH nor Aleecohfx..
As far as I can see, the "Import" button is still available, and you can import all kinds of formats. When my system failed the backtests against Alpari data, the "Recalculate" feature was still usable, though. Sorry, I am not very well informed, indeed.. 
Wish you luck! |
Thanks for the link. I recall when this data was available on the Russian server, then it was shut, and the 'History Center' came online - so I thought that was it. Good to know the raw M1 data is still available.
You could indeed be correct about 'History Center' getting all its data from Metaquotes - out of boredom I installed the Alpari platform and sure enough, the backtest results are yet again identical... I am eager to import the M1 data and compare the results.
btw, I am aware you can import standard price bar data via the history Center - the thing was that before they removed the Recalculate option, you could use 'real' tick data. Removing 'Recalculate' means that Metatrader now would overwrite your 'real' tick data with its interpolated rubbish!
