can you attach a sample of the BTCUSD file here? It shouldn't be difficult to specify the correct format.

Hallo Anonymous user, Hallo Mark.



oh fine data for BTCUSD, thanks for the download link. The history is long. But the dataformat needs to be converted. Or Mark

frick have to do this in his SQ.


I got BTCUSD from jfd-broker.

(Only short history, I attached this file)

This file is loadable into 3.8.2. But there is an other problem.


The problem ist I cant set Spread to 27000 into SQ 3.8.2


I think BTCUSD is a very volatile currency. The Brakeout EAs from SQ can work good on this currency pairs

Hello all,

I just tried to create a new symbol and import your attached files. BTCUSD1.csv from Thomas is working fine, SQ4 automatically recognizes the timeframe and data format and the import is successful. About the spread issue - unfortunately there is a limitation of spread size in SQ3, but in SQ4 you can set the value as high as you want.


As Thomas mentioned before, the problem with the file localbtcUSD.csv is the time format. We haven't added support for time input in long format yet. But I will take care of it and add it among supported formats to make this kind of files importable into SQ4.


Thank you both for your inputs

Tomas
