Importing Tick Data

I am importing Tick Data (sourced from the vendor called TICKDATA)

 

The data file is formatted like this:

 

Date, Time, Price, Volume

 

I see no alternative other than to assign Price => Close

 

I get the error “You have to choose Open, High, Low, Close and Volume columns”  (see attached)

 

How do I import tick data to SQ?

 

 

 

 

 

Hello,

 

SQ expects tickdata in MetaTrader format which means it includes Ask/Bid prices. If these prices are not present SQ supposes it is a standard timeframe data – Open, High, Low, Close

 

A solution comes to my mind. You can import your data into Excel where the close price will become the bid price. You can calculate another column – the Ask price by adding 1 pip and then import the data into SQ as tickdata

The data files are between 1-10GB is size. I think I have to abandon the idea of importing tick data.

it works for me but backtesting does not… on mt5 , just looses
