Removing gaps in MT4 historical data

Occasionally there are gaps in MT4 historical data. This happens because the chart is not uploading correctly. 

If these gaps occur within the past few months, it is possible to retrieve the missing data by refreshing the chart.

You can do this as follows (please note that the below is an example, your data will be different):

• Go to the price gap in your history center and mark a few of the last entries before the gap.
• Delete about ten entries and close the history center.
• Then right click in the EUR USD chart and select “Refresh”.
• Now check on your chart to see if the missing price data is now appearing. It might not work the first time, it is possible that you have to refresh the chart up to three or four times before the gaps disappear.
• Once the data is visible in the chart, you should also be able to see it in the history center.

Also try increasing the volume of data in the History Center in your platform. To do that follow the steps described below:

• Increase the quantity of bars in MetaTrader 4 settings to the maximum (MT4 / Tools / Options / Charts / Max bars in history).
• Go to the History Center in MetaTrader 4 (MT4 / Tools / History Center).
• Choose the time-frame of the necessary instrument you are interested in (double click for example on ALV.DE/1 min) and press Download.
• Don't forget to close and re-open the platform and refresh the charts.
