You have to download the full data series. FSB converts the new data and overwrites the old files.

You can also try to download data with FSB Pro. The files are fully compatible with FSB.

Ok, but if I today download EURUSD 1M from 2010.01.01 and next week I want to download the last data of the past week, Do I need to download the serie from 2010.01.01 again?

FSB Pro can downlaod data directly from Dukascopy?

Thanks

If you use an alternative tool like TickStory, you'll have to download the new data only.

FSB Pro can downlaod data directly from Dukascopy?

I setup a online service that constantly collects Dukas data. FSB Pro downloads ready for use files from this service.

I tried the tool SQ Tick Data Downloader, but the ticks file data downloaded are not compatible with FSB, do you know this tool?

Also, with TickStory tool I can download data but How can I prepare downlaoded data for the FSB format?

Thanks

Re: JForex data update

You can export data files directly from Tickstory. After the data are downloaded, right-click on the data row.

Click  "Export to file..." menu item.

Export to file dialog appears.

In "Output Format" field select "Pre-defined" formats and select Forex SB Bar Format.

In Filename set {Symbol}15.csv where 15 is for 15Min chart.

This will save the data file in acceptable format:

Hi Popov,

with your suggest for TickStory I am able to have all data for FSB from 1m to 1D timeframe, but i am not able to have the tick data to load from FSB, do you have any suggest to obtain the tick data from TickHistory?

Thanks

Re: JForex data update

I haven't implement such feature. Probably there is some way, but I don't know it. You can ask in Tickstory forum how to export a data file in JForex tick data format.

I tried to install FSB Pro and download data, but I can see timeframe from 1M and not the data file with tick data. Why? In FSB free version if I download data from JForex I saw also the tick data format used to fill the bar for signals intrabar

Ok. Do you know a method to download history data with the possibility of updating new data without to have to download all serie again? The tool should have the possibility to export data for FSB format included tick data format

TickStory would be ok but it doesn't permit to export data in tick format for FSB.

In this moment I use JForex but with this instrument when I need of update data I have to download all data serie again

Thanks

As you said before your data series has not tick data, so do you know a service that permits also the tick data download with possibility to update data in a second time and with FSB compatible format?

Thanks
