for the before of 2017 it only shows m1 data

I am trying to back test my EA on MT4, for the XAUUSD to keep it under 4 gig per file I only export each 2 years. I exported 2017 to 2019 and the tick data works fine on back test, but when I try to export 2015 to 2017 however it creates 4 gig files but on backtest only shows 1m data instead of tick data . I use the exact properties of each symbol by using my mt4 data specification file . I also found that SQX ( data manager ) doesn’t make the files read only for 2015 to 2017 while for 2017 to 2019 it makes the files read only . I tried to do it by myself ….even I deleted and exported couple of times but still no tick data .

And the color of missed matched error is red instead of green :

Hi,

I have tested a strategy in MT4 using XAUUSD tick data downloaded into SQX Data manager and I get 99% precision between 2015-2017 (1.1.15 – 31.12.16)

Do you have any idea why SQx doesn’t make history files read-only and MT4 uses m1 instead of tick data ?
