I, for one, would really like these fixed, as the backtester seems to work well given the correct data. I have brought this stuff up on the MQL forum, but to no avail.

A. done (i cant say that there is no more holes, but the new history is already available). delete the history you downloaded before, and then download the new one.

In terms of both B and C, I suggest you report them on the official forum http://www.metaquotes.net/forum/ or explain here and I will do it for you. But you doing this would be better, since I havent really had those issues, and I dont think that reporting things that I cant really explain makes sense.

Keep in mind tho, that when reporting you need to provide as much details as possible. I mean, I see tons of people saying ish like "my MT eats too many memory, please fix this!". This does not make any sense, since the developers need to REPRODUCE the bug/issue, only then they can fix it. So I'd suggest you provide the steps for how you actually got to experiencing them bugs (1,2,3,etc), logs and screenshots would be nice too.

And finally, sorry I did not report the update for the History Center. Too lazy ;( But well, better now then never I guess.

What's new:
Quote:
1. Added M1 history for MICEX (Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange) symbols from 1999 and up
2. Filtering of existing FX symbols improved, spikes removed
3. Weekly data updates work in "auto" mode
Again, to use the new history developers recommend to redownload the history (not to simply update, but actually redownload). I'd personally recommend to DELETE the one you've downloaded before and download the history again.



Cheers,
Diam0nd

P.S. For those interested, let me say yet again, I DONT work for MQ, I simply follow them and their activity closely.



I LOVE
