Hi,

 

I was able to import ASCII data csv file from MT4 to TS9. But as you can see the chart doesn't look quite right. I suppose it is because TS doesn't recognize that price has 5 digits. I changend Format Symbol -> Scaling -> Custom Decimal Places to 5, but that just affected the chart scale y-axis. So, how do I import Forex data right?

 

BTW. I actually wanted to import the Dukascopy historical data, but I wasn't able to use it since the volume column has decimals and TS seems not to get along with it. So I use some Metatrader data which worked, but I would prefer Dukascopy. So if you know help in that case would be nice too. :)

First I need to know HOW to import FX data correctly then I can decide which data to use. :)

 

But mainly because of their bad quality. I used this data once in Forex Tester and found their M1 data is just way too erratic.

 

 

EDIT: Problem solved. I overlooked something in the import wizard. Regarding data from DC, I just edited the CSV-data to rounded numbers, so no problem there too.

Does TradeStation have market replay ability using Forex Tester's 12 year 1 minute data?
