Topic: JForex import

I have downloaded several time frames and the tick file.... and when I try to import.. nothing appears.

Can someone tell me what to do to troubleshoot...

Thanks

My 'secret' goal is to push EA Studio until I can net 3000 pips per day....

Re: JForex import

I also get some issues. A mesage box "could not determine the decimal separator" appears after data import.

I checked the jforex csv files and the separator for decimal and column is the same "," I think that is the cause.

What can I do?

Regards

dukascopy format :

2011.01.03 02:42:00,1,32803,1,32836,1,32802,1,32822,68,68
2011.01.03 02:43:00,1,32823,1,32825,1,32803,1,32803,58,16
2011.01.03 02:44:00,1,32803,1,32817,1,32803,1,32817,43,07
2011.01.03 02:45:00,1,32817,1,32817,1,32811,1,32817,29,41

format after data import by FSB:
2011-01-03    15:29    1    3319            1       332            1
2011-01-03    15:30    1    33178    1    33178    1
2011-01-03    15:31    1    33167    1    33178    1
2011-01-03    15:32    1    33168    1    33178    1
2011-01-03    15:33    1    33177    1    33208    1
2011-01-03    15:34    1    33208    1    33208    1
2011-01-03    15:35    1    33168    1    33168    1
2011-01-03    15:36    1    33131    1    33159    1

So as soon as i try to use these data it returns an error message on FSB which is quite understandable.

If you have any idea to solve that I would be grateful smile

Re: JForex import

The problem of your data file is that the column separator is comma and the number decimal separator is also comma.
You can try changing your location to US so that Ducascopy can save the files with dot as a decimal separator.

Re: JForex import

Now I see the problem, instead of this

1,32809,1,32809,1,32784,1,32786

it should be

1.32809,1.32809,1.32784,1.32786

.

Seems like a computer localization problem, but as I understand it was already fixed by Popov, nevertheless can you tell me what's your localization setting?

Re: JForex import

I have fixed another problem: when localisation is Russian, for example, but the decimal separator is dot (should be comma for Russian). In that case .NET cannot parse string value from the text file to a double number. To workaround this FSB checks the decimal separator and converts it to the correct one.

In that particular case the column separator and decimal separator are same and FSB doesn't know where a column finishes.

FSB checks different variant for the column separators and decimal separators but they must not be equal.

Re: JForex import

I am localized in France and even with localization changed to US it does not work hmm

Re: JForex import

I don't know where the problem is.
Ducas gives me that format for my Bulgarian localization:

Time,Open,High,Low,Close
2011.02.14 00:00:00,1.35118,1.35202,1.35104,1.35114,1683
2011.02.14 00:15:00,1.35113,1.35159,1.35022,1.35135,2107

Probably you have to ask for solution in the Ducas forums.

Re: JForex import

Can you tell me where to find 'localization' setting, please.....

Thanks

Re: JForex import

I think it's in Control Panel, Regional and Language Settings.

Re: JForex import

Ok , great, I will look in there...

Thanks
