I don't know how but all charts froze up yesterday evening, no bars are being imported anymore. After deleting the history and starting the Autoupdating Expert from the scratch, only mtgoxUSD,M1 timeframe gets imported. Is anybody else experiencing this?

The ticks are not updated, because Bitcoincharts seems to have changed the API again!

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3080860

Actually, I wouldn't call it an API anymore. The APIs are consistent and backward compatible.

It's very strange.

When I copy sKVM-BTC-Import_v1.2.ex4 to /expert/script folder
and run Metatrader this script file is automatically removed !!
That's exactly the same behaviour with EA file eKVM-BTC-Chart_v1.1.ex4
when I copy it to /expert

I'm using MT4 version 4.00 build 509

Windows 7 I suppose? Please, try to Unblock the file after download, I think it is a security feature.
Right click on the file, select Properties, then click Unblock button!

Hi,

thanks kvm for your work.
Why not open sourcing your scripts/EA ?

Kind regards

Yes! That's it! I've deleted the old history and started the Autoupdating Expert. Now I've got the whole market history. Thank you!

I'm looking to start trading Bitcoins in EUR at Bitcoin.de exchange. I was using chart from bitcoincharts.com but that doesn't allow to personalize the chart very much. How do I get the btcdeEUR chart into my MT4?

Just change the default value of the SymbolName input in expert/script settings dialog. Put btcdeEUR instead of mtgoxUSD!

This is strange...

First of all, I want to clarify the versioning of:

1. Import Script or sKVM-BTC-Import_v[X.X].ex4 - all version (1.0, 1.1 and 1.2) doesn't automatically download any data! It just reads and imports a .csv file, located in \experts\files\.csv. The different versions are just performance improvements!

2.Autoupdating Expert or eKVM-BTC-Chart_v[X.X].ex4 - it connects to bitcoincharts.com and downloads and imports all data automatically!
v1.0 - the old bitcoincharts.com API implementation. It doesn't work anymore!
v1.1 - implementation of the latest bitcoincharts.com API! My recommendation is to use this one!

So, back to your problem. This may be due to a coryption of the MT4 history. Please, delete mtgoxUSD1.hst and try again!

now there is an "almost-solution" for a live chart:

almost, because the price of this CFD is slightly diferent from Gox.
Just use a DEMO-account

I had high hopes for meta-coin, or any way to link meta-trader with crypto coins.    I was going to write my own interface between cryptsy and meta-trader.

Then I read this:

http://forexmagnates.com/metaquotes-warns-brokers-about-illegal-plugins/

From my understanding of this, Meta-trader gives out free clients, but the brokerages/exchanges pay for the severs that the clients talk to.  Thus adding meta-trader to cryptsy would for certain be illegal unless cryptsy paid for the meta-trader server software.   Heck it sounds dicey to even be pulling in data into Meta-trader as this going on with this thread.  Am I right about this?

It's not a live chart, the script just imports the .csv file and exits!

2. Before every import, make sure you have downloaded the latest tick data from:
http://api.bitcoincharts.com/v1/csv/mtgoxUSD.csv to \experts\files\




this has only to be imported once? the file is 234MB and the server very slow

This first version of the script is very simple and SAFE, because it doesn't automatically download any data, therefore it doesn't call any external DLL functions!

It just imports a .csv file, saved in \experts\files\ directory. The .csv history files at http://api.bitcoincharts.com/v1/csv/ are updated every few hours!

I am planning to release a more user-friendly version, so this is only the initial version!
