Historical Data not showing in MT4
Posted: Wed Feb 25, 2026 11:34 pm
Hi Team
I raised this support ticket below on my old account samko and transferring it here, i have added more print screens to show that I changed the Map to to XAUUSD(£) exactly as my broker names it and it still didnt work
Re my licence, please confirm that I have support for a year as i purchased a £73 annual licence yesterday
-------------------- my initial query
I followed the instructions below to export XAUUSD data to my broker IGs MT4 platform, however when I import the data from History Centre i dont see any data presented to me, i dont know why its not working... pls advise and see attached print screens
--------------------your reply
Hi Samko,
If you are trying to import data into MT4, please follow this video on how to do that. The only extra thing to note from the steps presented in that video is before pressing 'OK' on the "Export to MT4" box, go to the MT4 Settings tab and select your broker's symbol from the "Map to" dropdown box, as described in more detail in our manual. You will notice that your broker's symbol names are different to TIckstory's ("EURUSD(£)" instead of just "EURUSD"), so you need to tell Tickstory this with the "Map to" option so it can export to your broker's symbol name.
As an side, please note that your subscription has now expired. If you wish to continue to have on-going priority support, you can easily update your subscription by going to Help->About in Tickstory and clicking the "Renew" button. This will also give you access to the latest version.
Hope this helps.
