I am using MetaTrader as data feed, i.e. I would like to convert .hst files to .csv files in order to import them into Excel.

I did not translate the step 5 in the file.
The separator may be comma, semicolon or space.
Select any.

Hi newdigital
I want to import metastock file or *.txt (PRN) file to metatrader.
Can you help me?
Best regard

I am a new user in script. Could you tell me how to use the "csv_to_hst.mq4"?

I do not have metastock.
These scripts are here in this thread.
I can not use this script from /script folder.
I think it is not a script.
Probably it is EA.

You may place it in /expert folder (not scripts folder). And open this EA in MetaEditor and change inside:

Code:

// files must be in expert/files directory,
   string metastock_filename = "chfd.txt";
   string csv_filename = "USDCHF1440.csv";
   //int i_digits = 4;
   //string c_symbol = "USDCHF";

It means your metastock file should already be in expert/files MetaTrader directory. You need just re-name "chfd.txt" to your metastock file name inside the code (see above). And you should named the resulted Metatrader file from "USDCHF1440.csv" to any.

May be I am wrong.
Sorry but I do not have Metastock files.

Thank you very much newdigital..
Wether its you`re right or wrong..I appreciate your respond..

Hi there,

Esignal wants to charge me $135/month for their forex live data feed as I have the refined elliot trader software. Is there a way that I can take the forex feed from metatrader and feed directly into the program i.e. esignal alternative?

Please help,
