Failed to import price data

eastpeace - 16-9-2018 at 08:28 PM

I have a price data, format like this,

2009/10/09,9:0:0,4952,4956,4932,4938,15404

One minute timeframe, no column name, and the fields are,

date,time,open,high,low,close,vol

When I try to load the data, there is no file showing in the directory. But the file really does exit.

your filename format is not correct
symbol.barinterval.minute.anthingulike.txt
You will be missing .minute is my guess
Best put these type of questions at https://trademaid.info/forum/viewthread.php?tid=4
The reason is other uses are subscribed to the topic, and no one gets notification when you post a new topic.

What version are you on? The beta for paid users has had a major rewrite in this section. Generally results on 1 minute will be very poor. 15 to 30 is best typically.
The new beta build allows a multiplier. ie use 1 minute, with 15 or 30 minute multiplier

Thank you, admin

Following the file GSB_QUICK_MANUAL_20180417.doc, after rename the file, I have load the data to GSB successfully.

Can the one minute be transfered to 15min,or 30min timeframe in GSB?

I am using the 1.0.47.49 version.

yes, but only in the versions for paid GSB users. (Beta forum)
Otherwise you need to use symbol.30.minute....txt
I hope to release 49.08 build or later in about a week. Its a very good build I think. Beta users get new features well ahead of trial users.
If your in a hurry for the build, i can supply it. But all data2 contracts. ie spxx, idx etc must be put in the contracts list

Hello, amdin,

But I thinks it's different between this bar close and net bar open. (some gap happened)

So, the backtest report is not very credible.

I disagree. Back tests are very credible within the normal limitations. Unless perhaps your on daily bars.
There is always slippage. Many GSB users (but not all) trade 15 minute / 30 min bars. Difference between close of a 30 min bar and open of the next is minimal. Most markets 1 tick slippage each side is realistic. If you trade on the open or the close of a 30 min bar, i would expect similar slippage
