Historex: Export rate and quote history to CSV file - MetaTrader 5 script
MetaTrader 5 allows you to export/import exchange rates and quotes from the "Traders" dialog. Due to certain limitations, the export of quotes may not cover all required (available) history. This script allows you to export the entire history or any part of it to the same CSV format used by standard export/import tools.
The script uses the symbols of the current chart. The history of exchange rates and price movements for a given date range will be saved to 2 CSV files (in the MQL5/Files folder). The file name includes the transaction name, time range (exchange rate), and date range.
By default, both parameters are 0, which means the entire available history.

Risk warning
