    Trade Station has a huge historical DB. The data is compressed so loading intranet charts ranging 30 years take only a few seconds. TS is a very good platform - stable, fast, feature rich.

  2. Research on the market movements define technical analysis to define and forecast the price movements. The market is usually analyzed with history mentioned on the charts. Servers constantly save the historical data. As the platforms are connected to it, the downloaded terminal has all the necessary data. One of the best and traditional trading platforms is MT4 which is highly used by the Forex traders to analyze the historic trend and on the basis of it, forecasting the future trend. On the Mt4 platform, you can simply click on Tools>History Center. Double click the currency pair that you wish to download the history for and click on “Import”. Check the file you downloaded which is been uploaded to the history center. You can also add date for the starting time and select “OK”. Now you can see the history of your charts on the MT4 platform.
