Thanks for brining light on this Krog.
The best way to run it on Linux takes seconds to "convert".
I think it is clear now. no need to use MT4.
Use:
Jforex > Sed > FSB

i don't use linux - not yet anyway !

but when I do I'll give it a go

The dukascopy original may have some unusual character. These are visible if you open the .csv in a text editor like Word or Notepad++, then look for a menu command of "View - Show Non-Printing Characters" or "View - Show Formatting Characters". (Every app has a different command.)
It could be something like Dukascopy original has "\r\n" for return and line feed, and FSB expects "\n" only for new line. Check the end of line delimiter, and check the beginning and end of the lines for a difference. These characters are tedious to look through, if you like post both of your files, I'll take a look too.

i was thinking the same - but i don't have much time to investigate properly !

I've only found this on dukascopy data - for now

Guys, What is the problem? you don't need to convert data as Dukas supplies data in any timeframe just use the platform itself. You can open demo account here:
http://forexsb.com/forum/post/5284/#p5284 then use Jforex to download and save data in any timeframe you need.

i tried that but for some reason FSB didn't like the csv file direct from dukas.

I then removed the first line in the file as it said DATE, OPEN,CLOSE etc thinking that was upsetting the FSB - but no !

I then imported into the mt4 the dikas csv files - then exported them again to fsb - this works !

unless there was a corrupt download???? but then mt4 was able to read it...so im not sure whats going on here.

anyway - there was a way around this
