Re: Data files - FSB v2.5.3.0

Hi Popov,
Your software is great. Very simply and easy.
But I have a problem with import currency data.
When I choose GBPJPY for 1 day period, window is open: "There is no data for GBPJPY 1 Day".

I tried Market->Download Data but there are only EURUSD, GPBUSD, USDCHF, USDJPY.

Thanks

Re: Data files - FSB v2.5.3.0

It's true. I distribute  EURUSD, GPBUSD, USDCHF, USDJPY pairs with periods of 5min - 1day only. But you can easily import text data from your broker or other source.
