You will be able to access and view the tick history in the MetaTrader 5 platform by following these simple steps:

Right-click on the Market Watch window
Select "Symbols" then the "Ticks" tab

Set the instrument and the period, before clicking on "Request".

Please note: All ticks for the specified period will be displayed below for this instrument.

You will not be able to see the tick history on MetaTrader 4, but you may see the bars' history:

Open the "Tools" tab on top and select "History centre"

Choose the instrument and the timeframe and double-click on it.
