			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Ok, I have closed FSB Pro, and restarted, no change.</p><p>I tried again and went to Control Panel &gt; Data Sources &gt; Select correct profile (ETX Real) &gt; Open Data Directory and deleted the DataSource JSON file.</p><p>Then I went to my ETX Real Metatrader 4 terminal, made sure all the pairs I want are in the Market Watch window, then dragged the FSB Data Source script onto the chart. It successfully exported the symbol settings data to the &quot;Files&quot; folder in the MT Data Folder. </p><p>With the &quot;ETX Real&quot; Data Directory still open, I moved the new DataSource JSON file from MT &quot;Files&quot; into it.</p><p>Then I closed FSB Pro, the data directory, the MT4, and the MT &quot;Files&quot; folder.</p><p>When relaunch FSB Pro, nothing has changed, for instance, EURUSD &quot;Swap long&quot; is still -2.00, and &quot;Swap short&quot; is also -2.00, when these values for EURUSD in the exported JSON file are:<br />&quot;SwapLong&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; : -10.23,<br />&quot;SwapShort&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;: -1.93,</p><br /><p>Perhaps the issue we talked about here is affecting it? Putting SB after the pair?<br /><a href="http://forexsb.com/forum/topic/6347/additional-pairs-in-fsb-demo-data/<br />">http://forexsb.com/forum/topic/6347/add … emo-data/<br /></a></p><p>I was also having a problem with FSB Pro &quot;Waiting for data&quot; in my ETX Real profile, and could not start a strategy, but I removed the &#039;SB&#039; out of all the filenames in the Data Directory for the profile, and now the data seems to be loading. </p><p>There are also 19998 ambiguous bars out of 20000 for M5, but I guess that&#039;s for another thread!</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Good evening, Popov,</p><p>I seem to have a problem with FSB Data Source script..</p><p>I think the symbol settings in my broker demo profile match the json file exported from MT, at least, the &quot;swap long&quot; and &quot;swap short&quot; figures do, but in my broker real profile, the settings do not match, do you know why this could be?</p>]]></content>
