I have a question regarding the disappearance of data on random occasions within my "demo" account with MT4.
For starters, I have been using the MT4 platform for years only as a visualization tool for my trading (I would never use it or its mainstream brokers to execute my trades). Because I use a demo account, I must periodically re-register for a new demo account since my "unlimited and never-expiring" account is eventually cut-off by these brokers.
When that happens, I re-load a new MT4 platform and I must manually copy/paste both my "profiles" and "history" folders into the new downloaded platform in order to be able to see and manipulate data-bars going back as far as my old platforms.
On the current downloaded MT4 platform I am using, I have just opened it and noticed that somehow/some way, my data-bars only go back roughly 8 months - (the previous 4 years have somehow magically disappeared) - and I am curious to know how this could have happened.
I then tried to again manually copy/paste my "profiles/history" folders from older versions and it has not seemed to work.
Any idea what has happened this time? -Many thanks.
