CSV File Error in MT5 - "File is Corrupt or Missing

 

Hello everyone,

I've been struggling with an issue in MetaTrader 5 (MT5) for several days, and I hope someone here might be able to help.

I'm trying to import a CSV file into MT5 (only data read), but every time I attempt to do so, I receive an error message saying that the file is either corrupt or missing. However, I’ve double-checked all the file attributes, including the file path, format, and permissions, and everything seems to be in order.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  1. Verified the file path is correct.
  2. Confirmed that the CSV file is not open in any other program.
  3. Ensured the file format is compatible with MT5.
  4. Checked that the file is not locked or corrupted (it opens fine in Excel and other text editors).
  5. CSV can be readed by Python

Despite all these checks, MT5 still refuses to read the file. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Are there any specific requirements or hidden settings in MT5 that I might be overlooking?

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your help.
