Import Data to Metatrader

[mohamedfeinz]

Hi all,

I have some close prices on excel and want export this data to Metatrader and create line chart. I not need open, high, low.

How this can be donne? 

[William Roeder]

Write an indicator that reads your file and displays the prices. If all you have is prices, how can it know which bar the prices applies?

No! You can hire someone in the Freelance section to code it for you, or you can search the CodeBase or the Market for such functionality.

There is one Free Market product that I believe might be able to accomplish that but it is only for MetaTrader 5, not MetaTrader 4:

• Import CSV Pro - https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/22251

First option:

Learn to code.

Second option:

Find something in the code base that will work for your needs.

Third option:

Find something in the market place that will work for your needs.

Fourth option:

Hire someone to do it for you for a realistic price.

Expert level programmers have spent numerous years of their lives learning to code and perfecting their skills.

It's unreasonable to expect them to do the work for free.

Sorry but all your answers not help me!

I have to learn code or  hire someone to create one metatrader chart using close prices from excel?

mohamedfeinz: Sorry but all your answers not help me! I have to learn code or  hire someone to create one metatrader chart using close prices from excel? 

Yes! If nothing is available in the CodeBase or the Market, then yes - you are left with either learning to code or hiring someone to do it for you. The rates practiced in the Freelance section are very affordable! Have a look there and see for yourself.

Alternatively, contact the author of "Technical Indicator Import CSV Pro" and see if he can provide a version for MetaTrader 4. He is from Portugal as well if you prefer to communicate in Portuguese (your profile states that you are from Portugal).

Please understand, that what you want to do is not common practice and so is not a normal functionality of MetaTrader!

Those are your options.

Either learn to code, find something that already exists, or HIRE someone to do the work for you.

Learn to code:

The basics of MQL programming can be learned in a day if you put a little effort into it.

If your preference is printed materials, mql4.com and mql5.com are excellent resources! They're full of freely available source codes to work from.

If your preference is video tutorials... A quick search of youtube.com using the search term MQL TUTORIAL brings up almost 6000 results for you to watch.

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=mql+tutorial

Find something that already exists:

The MQL Market has thousands of items available.

The MQL CodeBase has thousands of items available.

Hire someone:

There are numerous programmers on this website which would be happy to assist you for a reasonable fee.

It is unreasonable to expect others to do your work for free, especially when you are unwilling to put forth even a minimal amount of effort to do it yourself.

[William Roeder]

As has already been said, you have only four choices:

• Search for it,
• learn to code it. If you don't learn MQL4/5, there is no common language for us to communicate. If we tell you what you need, you can't code it. If we give you the code, you don't know how to integrate it into yours.
• Beg at Coding help - MQL4 and MetaTrader 4 - MQL4 programming forum or Need help with coding - General - MQL5 programming forum or Free MQL4 To MQL5 Converter - General - MQL5 programming forum or Requests & Ideas (MQL5 only!),
• or pay (Freelance) someone to code it.

We're not going to code it for you (although it could happen if you are lucky or the problem is interesting.) We are willing to help you when you post your attempt (using SRC) and the nature of your problem.
          No free help
          urgent help.

if you just want to import data its very easy, on history center, you can import using csv files, its easy to create them on excel, if you need 

live data, then you need to create an indicator, like period converter, and import the file, yes it can be done

Hello,

I not need live data.

I try import the data using history center but nothing is displayed.... All the data in excel have to be in one column separated by comma? How can do this automatically on excel?
