Why do my 5m candle sticks mostly open to close and the wicks are separated in another candle?

Hello

Can you please send a screenshot of the problem so we can try to help?

You can export the data from FXCM MT4 platform and then import them manually using "Import from a file" button in the Data Center.

Or you can subscribe to our paid data service via this page:
http://www.forextester.com/HistoryServiceDescription

and download historical data from FXCM and other brokers into the program.

Hello

Forex.com data are 4-digit data so the quality of the chart is worse than the quality of the 5-digit data chart.

Please open the Data Center, select EURUSD, delete old data using "Clear history" button, then download new data from FXCM, FXDD, Alpari broker, create a new project and start a new test.

And then quality if the M5 chart will be much better.
