I will not anymore update/support this tool: reason: Going Platform independent! Going pyhon!
I stopped following this thread.
LATEST INFO: UPDATE: 20130621
Broker History Rate Downloader EA
I got feed up with scrolling back in the charts to download updated history data from the brokers.
I also did not find any script/ea which did do the job to my satisfaction (I'm sure there must be some out there but anyway I had not found it)
This EA looks like it does the job: get"s for me about 45000 M1 Bars .. seems my broker does not offer more...manual scrolling does not get anything beyond that.....
There are 2 versions:
* NORMAL: eGetBrokerRatesHST_ATI:
- seems to be more stable: advantage: does not manipulate the hst files but simulates back scrolling
- can limit to the needed bars: for speed up - e.g. one needs only 200 bars per chart
- see also:
* MUCH FASTER: eGetFastBrokerRatesHST_ATI
- I do not use it because it does not work properly under Linux/Wine - Windows XP seemed OK
* I also have a different FAST Version which works on Wine/Linux but uses a couple of steps - not so simple for Endusers (not uploaded)
I offer this free of charge for anyone who wants (only .ex4 file)

TIP: it is sometimes helpful to have additional a FakeTick generator running: (weekends)
- e.g. mt4ticker https://www.fx1.net/wiki/pmwiki.php/MT4Ticker/MT4Ticker
- OR TickingAllCharts_1.mq4 is from somewhere on the internet
