No difference. All formats export equal price data. The difference is only in the formatting.

Both formats are functionally equal.

The Forex Strategy Builder export is more precise regarding the format of the numbers. It rounds all values to the corresponding number of digits.

The file name for MT includes the period as a text, and FSB Pro includes the period as a number of minutes.

The column delimiter is a comma for MT and a tab for FSB Pro.
