My suggestion is to use Jforex to get the best data and easy import to FSB, it takes time but is reliable.

However the script is not perfect as Matt Kennel states in his description of it and you may be able to download some more manually.

I think the script works fine for testing EA's and strategies on strategy trader. I think if you want to go back years with absolute accuracy in FSB I have come to the conclusion that tick data as mentioned by Blaiserboy and boldtrader is worth obtaining to have it build the historical bars.

The script appears to have run correctly on your mt4. If you have all the data and there is none to download than it will quickly run through the instruments and close. You might want to go under the instrument panel and right click and click on show all and run it. Here is my results on my Demo. Downloaded all including gold silver and exotics. Your pic actually looks correct to me. If you are up to date on your history data than there is nothing to download. We use it mainly on new demos we are going to use for EA's to make sure we have all the back data. Also any live account it never has been run on. After that if you run it again it closes almost immediately because you have already run it in the past. Only so much data available. Here is a pic of mine. Unless I am misunderstanding something it looks correct to me.

Just drop it on one chart. No need to have all the charts open. It will download for all the instruments.

Hello slowkey , its not working with me  , what iam doing wrong  !!!!!

I am not sure what I am looking at.

Make sure you have a chart up and running of mt4 that has no ea on it. Probably getting interference from the ea on the chart. Make sure you put it  on a chart that is not in use by FST. Should work than I think.

ahmedalhoseny Re-download the file. I am sorry I posted an fst file lol ...

This script uses iBars() to ATTEMPT to force-load historical data for all
   found FX symbols and timeframes.  Note that iBars() call
   is supposed to return number of bars, but actually forces load
   of 2048 points in an undocumented way in some cases, but not always.
   
   There is no way I know
   to force load all data, but this will get a reasonable amount
   on all symbols & timeframes.

   Message will go to Experts tab via Print() statement.
   
   Read the message and attempt to manually download
   those which failed. Why?  CrapT4.
