YURAZ_CreateCSV_HistoryFile_From_MT5_For_MT4 – script MetaTrader 5

When I used the history quotes data from MetaTrader4 client terminal, I have found that some brokers doesn’t have the full history.

The quality of the historical bar data is better, so I have decided to export the historical quotes from MetaTrader 5 and import them in MetaTrader 4.

This script will help you to get the full history for MetaTrader 4.
