Weird issue importing historical data... help?
BTW, if it's helpful at all, I can see that even after selecting my csv file, but before importing it, the data is already problematic.
Ok, solved. I'll leave it here in case anyone else happens to search it.
My single-digit hours were simply missing the leading 0 (zero).
Annoying. And so simple. Like most data/coding problems.
Hi gang,
I'm struggling to get some data I purchased importing correctly into MT4. Two different problems seem to be showing up.
First is each day only imports from 10:00-23:59, while my csv file contains data for each day from 0:00-23:59.
Second, which I'm assuming is related somehow, is that there's spurious candle info appearing on my chart between the hours of 10:00-10:45 and 20:00-20:45.
I checked my csv files over in a text editor and made sure that all formatting exactly matches a functioning csv file that came directly from MT4 pulling from the server.
Yesterday I somehow did get 2023 to import correctly, and my backtesting was working well, but I'm trying to get 2022-2023 in and running into the above problem. Even more strangely, when I try to re-import the 2023 file I was using yesterday it didn't import correctly anymore, giving me the above problems.
Here's a sample of the source file I'm struggling with.
Any ideas what I should look at here would be much appreciated, I've spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to troubleshoot this already. I'll attach my 2023 csv if anyone cares to take a look at it. Thanks!
