MT 4 customised time frame charts - missing data

Can anyone help with how to download the missing data on MT 4 customised time period charts.

 

I have created 6 hour and 12 hour charts for a selection of pairs on the IG MT 4 trading platform based on the 1 minute chart but only a few candles have appeared. It seems to be only using the last few days data. Is there a way of getting the missing data for say the last year or so?

 

I would appreciate any help on this matter.

 

Many thanks

Hi ,  to create a chart, open the chart in the time frame directly below the one you want to make, so to make a 6 hr chart open a 4 hr, then open the bar changer app from the 4 hr chart..

In the diag box the Timeframe for the new 6 hr offline chart is 6 x 60 min so enter 360 and then the 'Shift bar time' from 4hr to 6 hr is plus 120 (min). Click ok.

The new chart should then be in the offline chart list to open.

Remember you need to keep the 4 hour chart open to provide the data feed for the 6 hr chart.

Many thanks for this info, but I am unable to find the -IG Bar Changer -  app. The changer I am using at the moment only works on the 1 Min chart, hence I need to be able to download historical data set with the (£) ie. GBP USD(£). I can find the standard sets ie. GBP USD but they do not seem to be recognised in the IG version of MT 4 which seems to use the (£) suffix to each pair. Any further help you could give would be appreciated.

,  you can find the download for the IG MT4  apps at link below (all 18 in 1 download) and the bar changer is amongst them.

From your download folder just open the the MT4 apps file while MT4 is running and will auto-load, will probably need to close and re-open MT4.

Some will be placed in the 'indicators' list, others are placed in the 'expert advisers' list.

    • The U.S. stock markets are currently experiencing a bullish trend, with any recent downward movements considered part of a bullish corrective pattern according to Elliott Wave analysis. Trading activities are being temporarily paused until after the U.S. elections, as this week is expected to be highly active due to 622 earnings reports and the Federal Reserve meeting scheduled for November 7th. Key Elliott Wave Analysis: S&P 500 (SPX): In Wave 4, with three bullish wave counts under consideration. NASDAQ 100 (NDX): Progressing through Wave 4. Apple (AAPL): Entered Wave (2), indicating a corrective phase. Amazon (AMZN): In Wave iv) of 5 of (1), suggesting a minor correction within an overall upward trend. NVIDIA (NVDA): Advancing in Wave 1 of (5), pointing to the beginning of a new upward impulse. Meta Platforms (META): Nearing completion of Wave 4, potentially setting the stage for Wave 5 upward movement. Netflix (NFLX): Completed a Wave 4 Triangle pattern, indicating a possible breakout. Alphabet (GOOGL): Currently in Wave 4, suggesting a corrective phase before the next upward impulse. Microsoft (MSFT): Holding at the 400 support level, in Wave A of (2), which may be the start of a larger corrective pattern. Tesla (TSLA): Moving through Wave 4 of (1), indicating a short-term correction. Bitcoin (BTC): In Wave 4, suggesting a consolidation phase before potential upward movement. Trading Strategy Insight: Investors are advised to monitor these developments closely, especially in light of the upcoming U.S. elections and significant economic events this week. The Elliott Wave patterns indicate that while short-term corrections are occurring, the overall market trend remains bullish. Combining this technical analysis with fundamental factors will be crucial for making informed trading decisions. Analyst Peter Mathers TradingLounge Source: tradinglounge com    
    • Any good DeFi project like ETH, OPT, & ARB are my favorite & wouldn't hesitate to DCA ZRC on Bitget's pre-market campaign tho was able to secure some drops. Hoping to make some profit.
    • The emergence of interactive gaming features within messaging platforms like Telegram presents a dynamic shift in how we engage with digital content. It's intriguing to observe the blending of entertainment, social connectivity, and potential rewards that these mini-games bring to the table I haven't played RoOLZ yet but I do like attack on titans and I've watched all the seasons.  Hope to earn some GODL while I am it!  Thanks for the info
