why can't you download the mt4 platform for alpari then load a 1 minute chart. open the history center and export the 1 minute data to a file?

it is different dude, if u download from metatrader, it will download the data from the MetaQuotes server not from alpari server

Isn't this data in the history centre on MT4?

[candyman]

The data is from the Alpari server. it is from metaquotes only if you press download in the history center. If you open the chart and scroll backwards that data is from Alpari

how to download a file??+

Yep, history center is providing a general MetaQuotes data for download, not broker's data.

 

Scrolling back a live/demo chart is ok if you want to make very short backtests only, because it won't load more than 2 months of data in M1, 5 months of M5, around 7 months of M15, around 2 years of M30/H1, around 10 years of H4 and about all the history for D1 and above. But these are broker's data, indeed.

 

By scrolling back you'll get the .hst file for the timeframe you're scrolling only, not all the timeframes' data. So, you have to switch timeframes manually and do the scrolling back from latest bar to oldest it's allowing. I've used to disable AutoScroll to avoid getting back to the latest bar every time when a tick is coming in. Also, you can scroll back faster if you're zooming out the chart completely. Then you just have to keep pressing PgUp or Home until it won't load more data. If you're ready, close chart and start over with the next timeframe you want. I suggest close (exit) MetaTrader after you finished your scrolling back session, since .hst files will be completely written to disk at exit only.

 

Again, you can't backtest your favourite M1 scalper with these data as it is comprising a very short time period only. It might be adequate for 1-2 years of H1 backtests and completely ok for H4 and up.

 

Btw. if you want real backtests on real tickdata, still Dukascopy is the way to go. You can download some of the broker's data this way above, but I doubt it will contain all the spikes and other nasty surprises they did to their data while you've tried to trade them. :)

If u use the scrol back, it just can download a few month data, not a few year data
