The script allows conversion CSV tick data into FXT data format. The corresponding HST file can be created at the same time. The file can be imported into the Client Terminal History Center.

The csv file record must be of the following format:
YYYY.MM.DD HH:MI:SS;1.2345

The FXTHeader must be preliminarily downloaded from the Libraries section.

Hi stringo,

I tried this script many times and always get uninit code 0. I get it whether I choose a file in the inputs or not.

If I try to enter a full path in the filename I get "absolute path not allowed" error in the log. Then I tried entering the filename only and pasting the file in virtually every MT4 folder but it did not get recognized, always uninit 0.

Please advise where to put the file or how to enter a path so I don't get this error. I really need to test this tick data for a trailing stop strategy and soon.

Thanks & regards,

Svetoslav
