Historical data - Roboforex

Hello community,

I have questions about historical data

I have mainly been using Roboforex since 2019, sometimes with more, sometimes with less commitment.

Testing EAs at RF is a nightmare because entire days are sometimes missing from the histories; which are completely or partially present before and after.

Does anyone have an idea how I can get complete historical data at/for RF to sustainably test and optimize the EA?

Thanks for your answers

Do you use MT4 or MT5?
MT5 downloads detailed historical data itself, you just need to open Weekly or Monthly chart and scroll it back, then run the backtest.

You can't get complete history unless the broker provides it.

Hello Andrey,

I use MT4.

Is there a reputable broker that provides historical data without restrictions, or at least the last 3 years?

Backtesting in MT4 doesn't make much sense. It doesn't have ticks data, spread is fixed, etc.
Switch to the MT5 or use 3rd-party software to import tick data to MT4. First option is much easier and promising.
