Topic: Importing hst files

Hey!
I had a strange situation here:
- imported XAU/USD historical data into MT4, and all was fine
- converted 1 min data into all periods
- imported hst files in FSB
- 1 min, 60 min, 4 hours, and daily data are fine (thousands of bars, since 2007)
- 5 min, 15 min and 30 min data only show 300 bars each!

Any idea of what might be happening? I opened the csv files in the FSB data folder and the files seem fine!

Cheers
Nuno

Sorry, 1 min data is also not working. I have set my max bars to 60000 after changing a config file.
Another piece of information: when I imported the hst files, a window reported thousands of bars imported.

Re: Importing hst files

one idea I have is that you may have not had enough bars on your MT4 charts when you saved the data to FST

I had thousands of bars loaded in MT4, and they seemed to be well imported. However, only 300 are then loaded into FSB (see screenshots attached pl)

Re: Importing hst files

It works for me. Please check Data Horizon options and also Settings under Market menu - Cut off Bad Data...

You are right. When I deselect cut off bad data I get all the bars... But it's not a good sign I can imagine.
