Metatrader has a History Center option where you can download forex data (in 1M, 1HR, 4HR etc). Once you've downloaded the data, you can use the actual data download for ForexTester.
No need to convert to CSV. Forex Tester uses the Metatrader history as is.
InterbankFX uses this platform. You can download at:

Need Forex Data from 1999, download Metatrader

metatrader grabs about one year and i do not see any options to get more data other then typing in each date individually which would take forever since i would like data going back to about 2000
is there a way to get more then 1 year of data any way other then typing in each date, like some kind of batch data collector?

Downloading history in MT4
Hi evilpip,
Within MetaTrader, open a chart, then press & hold the "Home" key.
MT will download whatever data it can for that pair & period from the server.
It can take a while, so when I've done it, I've placed a weight on the Home key & let it run.
MT4's history centre might do something similar, but I find it's kind of twitchy & I've not had much luck with it. Sometimes I have had to close the MT terminal down & restart it to access the new data.
Alternatively, you could download the data from the sites listed under DownLoad on this site. http://forextester.com/download.html
Cheers
Chris
