Hello Jay – R,
I have asked Petko for all of that in the beginning in the 1:1 class so I will afford to answer:
1. When you save the .hst files you make sure you are not losing the data. It is a way to collect it. For example, if you change your computer, laptop, VPS and you install the MT4 again, you will lose the Historical data you collected till the moment. If you have the .hst files you can place them in the path described from Petko, and the Historical data will show in the new platform that you install.
2. You need to open one chart for EURUSD, and switch from M1 to MN, and on every timeframe, press the Home key. After that leave it on M1 (because there the ticks are coming). Before I export data, I switch quickly the time frames to make sure the new data is added.
3. I do not understand what exactly is slow? When you press the Home Key it loads slow, or when you place the script?
Hope this answers your questions without the 3rd one.
Kind regards,
