You haven't logged in with a valid trading account, check your credentials. I had this problem too, and it stemmed from following tutorials on expert advisors. When I tried to follow older tutorials, back testing, putting in historical dates, and then trying to run every tick, the data was just not on my brokers machine to download.

To see how far back your broker stores a specific timeframe, of a specific currency pair , you should back test using an EA, and do not select the "Use Date" checkbox, just start the scan letting it run using all the data it has access to, then stop it after a few seconds.
