First and foremost, it is essential to note that the data you can access in MT5 depends on your broker’s integration with external data providers. If the broker has direct access to various exchanges, they can provide more detailed and accurate data than brokers who do not have direct access. The most common source of market data are third-party providers such as Reuters or Bloomberg, but there may be other options depending on your broker.

This will bring up a window where you can choose the type of historical data you wish to download.

Depending on your connection speed and the number of symbols requested, this process may take several minutes – an hour; once completed.
