Historical data MT4

Question

Guest marauder

Hi, is it possible to download or otherwise import historical FX data from IG in to MT4? When I log in to my MT4 account the historical download seems to max out at 2/3 months. You can download additional data but it sources it from MetaQuotes and not IG. 

Thanks

Hi, not that I've seen, the historical data from IG comes as 'packets' so there is only so much 5 minute chart history data and only so much monthly chart history data and so the 5 min chart data only goes back x number of weeks and the monthly chart data only goes back only x number of years.

You can download some extra data from the History Center from the mt4 Tools tab but that is metaquotes data not IG's.

Other sources of historical data see hee;

    • Look ahead to 31/5/23: China PMI; France GDP; Germany CPI Economic data is key on Wednesday. It starts in Japan with retail sales, followed by Chinese PMI.  Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London | Publication date: Tuesday 30 May 2023  IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor looks at the chances that the Chinese yuan will weaken further as it becomes more and more obvious that the recovery in China is further away than initially expected. Then in the eurozone we’re looking at the CAC 40 and DAX as growth and inflation data is released. The only corporate on the schedule is from stationers, WH Smith.          
    • Charting the Markets: 30 May FTSE 100 lower while DAX moves higher in early trading, and Dow looks to edge up following reports of debt ceiling deal. EUR/USD declining and USD/JPY holding firm, while GBP/USD begins to show signs of a higher low. Chris Beauchamp | Chief Market Analyst, London | Publication date: Tuesday 30 May 2023  Gold’s pullback slows down, while Brent crude turns lower and natural gas struggles to hold the 50-day MA.               This is here for you to catch up but if you have any ideas on markets or events you want us to relay to the TV team we’re more than happy to.
