For example, if I set the maximum number of bars to 20K then FSB invites only 20K of data. But I think FSB load the hole data series.

That's right. FSB loads whole data file, parses it, filters and cuts it according to the settings.

Probably we have to make some kind of preliminary cut in order to speed up the process.

Corrects me if I'm wrong.

I have deleted my data before 2010 for testing purposes only and it works fine.

Many Thanks

But you have HUGE number of bars... 2.5 million 1M bars...
Do you press Cancel button when you start Scanner?
FSB loaded intrabar data for 2 minutes on my laptop.
I suggest you to prune old data in the files to the newest 50 000 bars.

I'm downloading now.

@ Jagmanmick
I do the same like you. With the scanner I have also all possibilities testet.

@ Popov
The data are EURUSD 1 min to 1440 min from FXDD. You can download the ZIP data (30 MB) here :

Now I have a little bit tested. I found out if I use the Brokers .hst data ( over the upload function via: Market > Import Meta Trader 4 HST file) the scanner works very well.
I think it's up to the creation of the .csv data that makes  FSB.

1. Has anybody  the same problem?

2. Is it possible to fix this problem that everyone can use the .csv data directly from MT4 without convert by FSB?

perhaps helps that.
The next picture shows the data from the fsb software opened with excel.

This picture shows the data from mt4 opened with excel.

The separator are different. ????

Maybe problems with country settings?

Ticks (optional)                                                             |<------>|

 5M                                                                |<---------------->|
15M                                       |<----------------------------------------->|
30M                     |<----------------------------------------------------------->|
 1H   |<----------------------------------------------------------------------------->|

Scanner will use:
      |<------1H------->|<------30M------>|<---------15M---------->|<--5M--->|<--1M-->|
                                                                             |or ticks|

Scanner uses shortest time data where is possible. Shorter data must fill up a whole bar from the upper time frame.

Load data one by one starting from 1 min in order to check them. Note the update date and time.

any suggestions?

I'm not sure if the error occurs only with me. I have developed a strategy which has 10  ambiguous bars. Now I wanted to start the Intrabar-Scanner to control this bars. But the scanner does not load the 1 min data. I use the data from a MT4 Broker as was explained in the documentation (http://forexsb.com/wiki/fsb/metatrader_data). The csv-data from MT4 looks like this:

2008.09.16    4:15    1.4238    1.4238    1.4211    1.4226    130
2008.09.16    4:20    1.4227    1.4234    1.4226    1.4228    55
2008.09.16    4:25    1.4227    1.4235    1.4226    1.4234    34
2008.09.16    4:30    1.4235    1.4235    1.4227    1.4229    68

I also tested the strategy with the data that comes in FSB software. So that it has worked. The csv data looks like this:

"26/06/89    00:00    0.99980    1.00120    0.99910    0.99980    43"
"27/06/89    00:00    0.99720    1.00500    0.99550    0.99970    166"
"28/06/89    00:00    0.99970    1.00250    0.99050    0.99890    233"

The data are copy and paste from Excel.

What could be the reason why the Intrabar-Scan does not work with the MT4 Broker data?

Thanks for answer and Good Trades
