How do I import a CSV file into MT4? Step by step: What format should the CSV have? How do I save it correctly for MT4 to recognize it? I created a CSV file but MT4 does not import it. I tried this format: 23-02-2017,00:00,219.42,216.03,222.98,216.01,7041. And also with this one: 2017.02.03.213,91,212.99,217.01,212.01,1891. Neither of them worked.
It's the same with me, and it seems like no one's interested in solving it.
I'm not sure if there are free tools, but you should look for a CSV file converter to HST.
Part of the process includes joining Excel sheets containing data per month. I explain that here.
I tried converting the file with an Excel script that I found in a Russian forum, but MT4 still doesn't recognize it. I don't understand if it's by the delimiter, date formatting, or column order.
Did you use semicolon or comma as a separator? MT4 is very sensitive to that. Always use commas, without spaces.
Dude, if you're on Windows in Spanish, the problem could be regional. Change the regional configuration to English and re-export the CSV.
I just did that, I set it up in English.
Did you save the file as CSV (delimited by commas)
The MT4 version also influences. In some old versions, the data importer is capricious and fails with new formats. Update your platform first.
