Figured out how to get the correct format with Tickstory:
Tickstory formats:
- Timeframe: 1-Minute (Select whatever bar time-frame you wish)
- Include header: No
- Custom format: {BarBeginTime:yyyyMMdd},{BarBeginTime:HH:mm},{Open},{High},{Low},{Close},{Volume:F0},{Volume:F0},10
- Timeframe: Tick
- Include header: No
- Custom format: {Timestamp:yyyy.MM.dd},{Timestamp:HH:mm:ss.fff},{BidPrice},{AskPrice},0,{BidVolume:F0}
:)

Metatrader 5 succeeds at loading tick data but not bar data. Source is FXCM historical data.
I can't load more then ~7000 bars into the 'Import Bars' menu without it failing, no error message either, then when i click 'OK' it fails to keep any of the data. :(
Same with tick data, i can load it into the 'Import Bars' menu but it doesn't remain in symbol history.
Edit: Tried editing the data to confirm to every example i saw online and the export of tickdata from MT5, still no luck. :(
Edit2: Okay was able to get the right format with tickstory data using this guide: https://tickstory.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7092&sid=93e77271a827a3c9b2932eb77d73f49d#p7092
Except i get this error when backtesting on it: "custom symbols not allowed in Cloud Network" and "EURUSD-tickstory2: no history data from 2019.02.01 00:00 to 2019.03.01 00:00"
Perhaps i need to import bars too?
