In eight years of trading on the MT4 platform I've only run into serious history download problems three times. Two of those times are currently with two different brokers, one in New Zealand, and one in Australia. From 28 pairs, 75% of the time chart data is missing on a new chart. One support technician said it was a Metaquotes problem and a manual solution was to; a.) choose the 4H chart on each pair, b.) hold down the "Page Down" key, and, c.) then scroll back several months. Then repeat for every time chart for which I needed history data. For one indicator I use, I need history data for several chart times on each pair, and the manual solution is slow going.
I've tried using several different history download scripts to force download, but they get hung up and don't complete the task. So I'm now manually going through every chart using the manual technique mentioned.
Has anyone else run into this problem recently? Is it due to a glitch in the current MT4 version or the Metaquotes servers?
Has any one found a solution or run across a script that handles the current Mt4 version and provides a forced download ?
Thanks.
