    Hi Petko, can you advise if it is possible to merge JSON files to create an ongoing historical data set? For example: When I download M1 data from my broker, I can get about 65000 bars, which covers about 2 months of trading. I did this on 26th April and so was running the generator against M1 data covering approximate 24th Feb to 26th April (I forget the exact start date). However this week I wanted to update my data, so I followed the same process to export it from my broker, loaded it into EA Studio, but the new 65000 bar data set was covering 18th March to 18th May, so I “lost” 24th Feb – 18th March. Is there any way to ensure EA Studio keeps and stores previous data uploads with older trading data? Clearly this questions only really relevant for higher timeframe data – M1 and M5 perhaps. Thanks

    Hey Steve,

    Actually, the 65 000 limitation comes from MetaTrader and not from EA Studio.

    In most of my algo trading courses, I explain how to solve it but I have some youtube videos as well:

    The solution is after 4:30 minute.

    Hi Guys/Girls

     

    I’m trying to import historical data into MT4, I have used the Forex historical download to export the data but i am having trouble importing and seeing it in MT4.

    Ive also tried the expert Advisor studio but again this is not working for me.

     

    Any advice would be much appreciated .

     

    Thanks in advance

    I loaded a few EA robots on MT5 because my broker supplied enough historic data. I want to know if I did it correctly. Please look at the picture

    Hi Gerhard,

    Things look loaded correctly to me. Can you be clearer with your concern please?

    Also it looks like you are trading live? Is this correct?

    This would not be advised if it is your first time trading these robots so I give the -live server does not mean real money

    Hello,
    can someone help me with the correct values for GOLD to the Data Export script (V. 4.5) ?
    I’m not sure which data I can find exactly where. I use an ICMarkets raw spread account.

    Thanks a lot!

    I notice you have eightcapEU live as a datasource, if this is the broker I am using and I export the data, wouldn’t the data be identical? And therefor not need to go through the process of exporting data for each currency pair/crypto pair I want to run ea’s on?

    Hi Bkennedy74,
    You’re right, it should be identical.
    Have you tried it?
    How are the EAs working for you with that data set?

    Warmly

    Hi, I followed the video on how to export the historical data. I am using blackbull markets for my demo. This is 3 hours ahead of GMT in my Metatrader. So I have set it 3 hours ahead and loaded the data. When I compare the price chart against Metatrader as per the video it is still 3hours behind. It has not changed the timezone in the historical data app.

    Can anybody help?

    Hey timaddamz,

    From what I can understand is that this might be happening as the historical data is set to GMT +0 by default and probably this is the reason you see the difference.

    Kind Regards,
    Nikos

    It is supposed to be updated to coincide with your broker data. It does not. Up to the hours you can easily adapt the data by just moving everything 3 hours up/down, but that does not work for 4h, 1D. That data will then have to be reworked from hourly data. I do not think it is worth my while.
