Topic: MT 4 Data for gold and other commodities

How many years of data is recommended for 30M and 1 hour charts and can you suggest a source for downloading the data for the longest period possible. Most brokers seem to be offering (based on demo account) only  one year of data. Am not able to open an account with oanda due to some silly documentation requirement.

Unrelated to the above, my EA has an exit at the end of the week condition. Will it be automatically handled in live trading (as in it is not possible to exit at the end in real tradng)

Re: MT 4 Data for gold and other commodities

Hi
I use data that my broker gives me and I use the live account data. Depending on the time frame...so far max around 70,000 bars...for M1..I am new to the fx world.
For the end of the week..you need to close the trade before the market closes on friday...so if it closes at lets say 00:00 then you would close your trade a few minutes before that....23:55
Regards,
