Suppose you open an MT4 account with a broker, and then click the H1 button. A few seconds later, your broker sends you H1 data that populates your History Center database.
Fine and well.
But then, you download M1 data, open an offline chart, and run the "Period Converter" set to 60. Va La, you have just overwritten your H1 data that you imported from your broker with aggregated M1 data.
I have noticed a lot of variation between the H1 candles created by an aggregation vs. a broker's H1 import.
My question "Is the M1 data bad, or the H1 data? They can't both be right."
