Hello,
I want to use the Express Generator for creating strategies based on FTMO Data. I have attempted to download those data using the “fetch.js” file, but it only downloads Premium Data, and doesn’t allow the selection of other Broker data.
Is there a way to download the FTMO Data that is already available on the EA Studio? I am aware that it’s possible to download data from any broker using the Data Export.mq4 script, but since I don’t have an FTMO account and the FTMO Data are already present on EA Studio, is there a method to extract this data in a .JSON format ?
Thank you,
Wassim
Sure, you just have to define it in your scripts or .ini file, such as –server FTMO or server = FTMO, depending where you do it.
There should be two hyphens there before server, but the forum removes one in the comments after hitting submit.
Thank you for your answer aaronpriest,
I tried to add the parameter –server FTMO when I run the fetch.js, but I had an error “Unknown Parameters…”. I guess we can’t choose the server using the ini file.
Do you have the “server” parameter? Maybe I don’t have the last update of Express Generator.
Thank you,

The .ini file would use “server = FTMO” if you go with that method. If you do it via variables on a command line script as I do then it would be “–server FTMO”. Both work. You do need a newer version of Express Generator though, I can’t remember which build number added it without looking it up.
Ok I got the latest version and now I have the server parameter and It works, I have all data I need now.
Thanks for your answers.

Opening a free FTMO demo account on MT4/MT5 and executing the Data Export.mq4 script is the best way to generate custom JSON historical data for Express Generator bypassing default fetch.js restrictions completely!
