It slightly differs from Excel's CSV format.

Please read the MetaTrader data import instruction written in the Historical Forex Data

The only option is to have the comment in the file name.

I'll start adding settings today.

I think to add:
- filename prefix
- filename suffix
- server name

Please share your ideas.

Are you referring to the function of saving data folder?

If it is, then maybe it's nice to have a description box so that I can comment and put remarks on the data etc

Price Chart - to be able to review the data and to check the correct timezone.
Data preview - a data table
Statistics - to see for gaps or missing bars
Settings - to make customization for the exported files.

I'll be on a business trip next week and will continue the work when returning back to Bulgaria.

Trade Safe!

EURJPY is rebuilt. Now the data looks good. However, what @zezo reported can be leftovers from his old data. Probably deleting the old data before importing in MT is a good idea. I'm not sure because I have no experience with that.

Now the service looks better. I'll set it composing new data every morning at 03:00 GMT. Later I'll add more markets. Now we have 19. I'll try to make them 30 next month.

Great work Popov, the data feed is stupidly fast to retrieve data, we appreciate the hard work you are doing!

Thank you! My goal was to make the fastest service for historical data. I hope the traders to find it useful.


Hi Popov, I download EUR/JPY data on 1min and 5 min charts but it is with many gaps.

Thank you for the report! It must be due to some updates or changes of the data collection service.
I'll run the service to recalculate the complete EURJPY series during the night.
I may do that for all the symbols for any case.

...

I'm also surprised by the fact of how active are our users. There are more than 2000 different copies of EURUSD uploaded at the moment from currently active licensed and trial users.

There are 139972 data files of active users.

Mhm. It is good!

I'll set the most used symbols in the data feed service.

The project has its own page on the website: Historical Forex Data

Changes:
- implemented timezone correction
- fixed MetaTrader CSV export format
- fixed Excel CSV export format
- the file names are made user-friendly. Example: EURUSD_H1.json for EA Studio and EURUSD60.csv for FSB Pro.

Trade Safe!

I found out that after the export, it is a good idea to store the files on another place and to have the Download folder empty. If it is not, the Windows save the new files with a suffix: EURUSD1.csv, EURUSD1 (1).csv, EURUSD (2).csv ...

The data with changed file names work well in EA Studio because it reads the data information from the file content. On the other hand, FSB Pro will not be able to find the files. (Prefix may work for FSB Pro because we can set it in the Symbol settings.)
