Hi all,

On Dukascopy website you can download historical data from all currencies cross.
When i download it i have an .csv file and i choose to take for exemple a 5 minute time frame for one month.
I try to import it in multicharts and i get an error of "negative time or date increment".
I would like to know if someone already succed in importing historical data in multicharts.

Many thanks for your informations,

ED

Yes, but you'll have to convert the data since, if I recall correctly, Dukascopy's files included both the bid and the ask data. For importing into MultiCharts, these need to be split into two files (one for bid, another for ask).

Maybe not getting into details, try to download Dukascopy data through the Tickstory - The Historical and Real-time Market Database for Traders and see if it now will work, perhaps your excel sheet with data is corrupted.

Additionally, here is also a useful link when it comes to to free forex data:

Hi all,

I download tickstory and the data importation is going well. My only problem now is that when i would like to display the graph, i have a bad representation of the data. Here you can see attached what's happend.
I tried several time to re-import and change setting but still not find a solution. Maybe someone here already have this problem.
By the way i try with 30 minutes data



Many thanks for all,

Edouard
