MetaTrader 5

You will be able to access and view both the historical data and the tick history in the MetaTrader 5 platform by following these simple steps:

  • Right-click on the Market Watch window

  • Select "Symbols"

  • To obtain the bars info click on the "Bars" tab, and set the instrument and the period, before clicking on "Request".

  • To obtain Tick data info click on the "Ticks" tab, and set the instrument and the period, before clicking on "Request".


MetaTrader 4

On MetaTrader 4, you will not be able to see the tick history, but you can see the bars' history:

  • Open the "Tools" tab on top and select "History Center"

  • Choose the instrument and the timeframe and double-click on it.
