    • ]]>     In MetaTrader 5 the history of quotes is stored only in M1 format (from 1993, before – D1 format) and all the charts are built based on it. When the terminal is first installed, the history is empty. The history is stored in \MetaTrader 5\Bases\Default\History\”currency”\ folder and has the .hcc (uncompressed) format. The history is transferred from the MetaQuotes’s server in a space-efficient archive format of data storing so for example the 10 years 1-minute history of quotes for GBPUSD takes around 10-13 megabytes, uncompressed around 100-150 megabytes.

    In order to download all history for a selected currency and show it on the chart, first open the options menu, then charts and select “unlimited bars in chart” option.
