External data

[Javier Alfonso Garcia Diaz]

Is it possible in MQL5 to work with external data? I mean importing price / volume data from a .csv or .txt file and to work on it?

In MQL4 I used to import it on the history center F2. but I can find it in MQL 5.

Thank you.

Maybe I am a fool....but I can not find the "import price/ volume data" option.

Could you give some guidance? thank you

I think FinGeR means that it is impossible and I confirm it.

As I see, MT5  only exports  price/volume data currently.

can not import history data  from data feed.

Look at my post https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/1420 (IS MQL5 A STEP BACKWARDS FOR TESTERS STRATEGY?)

http://metatrader5.blogspot.com/2009/10/history-in-metatrader-5.html:
"According to MetaQuotes, the option to edit history and view history like in MT4 will be added later."

Propably F2 was reserved for it.

The worst thing is, that no one can competently say when this, the most important feature version MT5 will be added.

I'm losing hope ...
