Does anybody know how to send a request to the metatrader server to historic data? I know it can be done because I'm currently getting the data from alpari into Tradestation 2000i. I just don't know HOW it's done.

My system is primarily in Excel and I'm currently using the VT-Trader API to get the data. Works like a charm, but it's too unstable. Crashes too much and of course the ol' VT connectivity issue is still there. Even on my live account.

Any help is mucho appreciated.


ps... anybody know of any free active x stock charting controls?
