Historic data of DE30, which is now DE40.

[veakin]

Hi,

I am looking to retrieve 10 years of data from the DE30/DE40 1M for backtesting... However, this doesn't seem possible...

I go to tools -> Historical prices -> choose -> DE40/DE30 -> 1M and then it only brings out 2048 elements, which is only a couple of months back....

Can anyone help me with this issue?

1. Check your Max bars in history and Max bars in chart via Tools->Options->Charts.
2. Try another broker.

Brokers only push a certain amount of data to Metatrader.

You need to source the data and download from a 3rd party like, Dukescopy. Then import that data into a separate Metatrader install, then use Period Convertor to convert the data into any required time frames.
