Export MetaTrader history and replay the CSV

Export MetaTrader history and replay the CSV — export-metatrader-history-and-replay-the-csv__S-cover.png

The series row is the proof. Not a cloud replay.

Direct answer

Export MetaTrader history and replay the CSV on this desk means: a history file lands in Data Center, then Training opens that series. On 2026-11-01 this PC imported a local EURUSD text (<TICKER>,<DTYYYYMMDD>,<TIME>). Get market data reported Downloaded 6 series · source path (bid) and EURUSD · M1 File 185,517 bars. New Training listed EURUSD, source ft_txt, period H1, 2016-05-01 → 2016-10-31, 3,119 bars · ft_txt. Then Train H1 / Start.

This sitting did not click MetaTrader’s export button. That button is not on this PC. The file was already on disk.

BarionQuant is a Windows practice desk. It is not a broker.

How to judge

Three checks, in this order.

1. Does Data Center show File / ft_txt?

After import, the report listed M1 through D1 as File. The wizard table said source ft_txt.

2. Do the dates match the file?

This tape ended 2016-10-31. The wizard intersection was 2016-05-01 → 2016-10-31. There is no 2020-03 on this disk.

3. Did Training open that series?

Status after Start: Training - EURUSD H1, Session 2016-05-01 → 2016-10-31.

What we do

Data Center → Import → File, then New Training on the Ready row. Download.

On 2026-11-01 Pricing is Free $0, Standard $15/mo or $150/yr, Pro $29/mo or $290/yr. There is no 7-day free Pro.

Honest comparison

MetaTrader already has the export. We replay the file locally. We do not stream their terminal.

Who should skip

  • You want one click from a running MT5 chart with no file.
  • You need 2020 March on a tape that stops in 2016.
