But isn't it a problem not to have the same hour candle ? I mean the 00h candle for FSB is actually the 23h for my broker.

I don't think so, but better ask your broker why the day starts at 23:00.
Probably some adjustments of time zone will fix the problem.

No mistakes anymore since I've chhanged each 23: by 00: etc...

But isn't it a problem not to have the same hour candle ? I mean the 00h candle for FSB is actually the 23h for my broker. As ssoon as I don't generate a strategy with day opening, it's okay but what would happen if I load a strategy based on hour candle.
Thanks again,

I'm using the freeware Notepad++ 99% of the time when converting or repairing data files.

For example if decimal point and column separator are both comma:

01/02/2009,00:00:00,1,39383,1,39865,1,38397,1,38505,38589
01/05/2009,00:00:00,1,38505,1,39629,1,35464,1,36342,67613
01/06/2009,00:00:00,1,36342,1,36595,1,33122,1,35352,79820
01/07/2009,00:00:00,1,35352,1,37473,1,3431,1,36437,80013

I can replace 1, with 1.

Here s the 4hrs and the Daily chart. Personnaly, I still got the same errors..

Actually, FSB succeed to load my strategy and when I choose load data from 2009 to 2010, FSB does load the data where it should not if it was not able to read my datas.(no such older datas by default), can we conclude that all in all FSB load my data even if there's some errors at the beginning.

Thanks again,

I loaded the strategy correctly with the default FSB data.

EURUSD 1D data attached above didn't work at first. I noticed that the time of bars is 22:00 or 23:00. I changed time to 00:00 and it was OK.
