Update of existing historical data

Post by rantampla »

Hello.

As an example, I have exported 10 years of EurUsd from 2005-2015 to my MT4.
If I still want to download the missing data, from 2015 to 2019, I thought I would pick again from 2005 and take out the option to overwrite existing files. Unfortunately this will result in an error message: File currently Exists, Overwrite option or delete this File.

What can I do if I want to load the latest data into my MT4, without having to download all the data for hours completely?
Hope I can be helped.
Thanks, Marcus

Hi Marcus,

For the moment, the entire date range that you wish to test with needs to be exported. We do have a development item to do incremental updates, however until then, the main way to speed things up is to make sure you are only exporting the time-frames you need. If, for example, you only use the Strategy Tester in the M5 timeframe, only select "M5 FXTs" to be exported in the "Export to MT4" window. This should markedly speed the process up.

Hope this helps.
