Hi joan,

It seems that you are running version 4 of our software. Our latest version 6 does allow you to change the bar build method from the Configure > Preferences > Historical Data > General menu.

Also, the data coming from the FXCM API (which we use) can slightly differ from the data coming from MT4 so this must also be taken into account.

Thank you.

Hi lutaMW,

We cannot connect to MT4 for data. If you're able to export the data in CSV or ASCII you could import it into MotiveWave. Depending on your trading style this may or may not work for you.

Hi lutaMW,

I'm assuming that you are importing the EOD MetaStock data via the import data feature of MotiveWave and not via a live connection?

If you are looking for live MetaStock data in MotiveWave, then you would require MetaStock Xenith real-time market data. Are you presently using Xenith?
