Anyone have suggestions what to do?
Thank you.
Open the data file in a text editor and check the values for the given dates.
Post the bars data for these dates to see what is happening.

FSB Pro doesn't recognize the time column. It must be 23:58 instead of 23.58.
Try to search and replace . with : in the whole file.
That did the trick :-)
Thanks again for your quick reply Popov.
I am having some data check warning issues too, could anyone advise as to what is causing the problems in the Loading Output box? I checked MT4 and saw that there was a huge spike on the date of the Big Range bar, so that is clear, but what could be causing some of the bars to have the wrong time?, and why is Data Horizon cutting off 18625 bars?
For data horizon, I think you have the max bar number hit. That is 50k, and therefore earlier bars are cut off until there are 50k bars.
"Wrong Time" means that the program cannot parse the time parameter for a bar record.
It is possible the format to be different. Also is possible the time to not correspond to the time frame. For example, on H1 chart the program will not accept time where the hour is not round:
2016-11-24 11:00 is ok for H1
2016-11-24 11:30 is not ok for H1
This is correct, I have found in the M5 data that instead of :00 and :05, it is :01 and :06 after my most recent import of data.
Is this some issue with the "Export Data to CSV" script? How can this be solved/prevented?
Thank you
I do not think there is much wrong with the script.... but there may be something wrong with the source of your data.
Metatrader is not the most reliable in any area.
We can expect some errors based on the volume of data bars, the complexities of the internet.
I also get a few errors from time to time, my solution has been to ignore them as I do not expect perfection based on the above.
In this case, it would be good to fix the one minute shift, so that I can use the 1700 recent bars that have been cut off. I would worry that a strategy created on data with a 1700 bar gap would be less than reliable. I'll google what could be the possible cause.
I just loaded GBPNZD using MT5 data...... 100,000 bars..... no errors.....
That might indicate that your broker data is in err.
Perhaps you can check into that.
Yes, it is the broker data.
I'm now trying to figure out how to use notepad++ to bulk edit the 1's and 6's into 0's and 5's.
You can do it with Notepad++
Use Replace (Ctrl + H)
The select "Regular Expressions" at the lower left corner.
Use the flowing search and replace patterns to change 1 to 0:
Find what: (;\d\d.\d)(1)
Replace with: \10
Then click "Replace all" button.
Then use the following to replace 6 to 5.
Find what: (;\d\d.\d)(6)
Replace with: \15
