Historical data MT4

[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;
