Using the Import Script Status: OK
This is an offline script that imports manually downloaded history file. It doesn't automatically download any data, therefore it doesn't call any external DLL functions! The .csv files at http://api.bitcoincharts.com/v1/csv/ are updated every few hours!
1. Download and install KVM Bitcoin Tick Importer, following the instructions given on the page.
Using the Autoupdating Expert Status: work in progress...
This is an Expert Advisor (EA) that automatically imports historical tick data from http://bitcoincharts.com into client terminal. Periodically, it updates the data and refreshes the chart windows.
1. Download and put eKVM-BTC-Chart_v1.2 expert in this directory, by default:
C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\experts - if you use Windows 7 32-bit system.
- or -
C:\Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader 4\experts - if you use Windows 7 64-bit system.
2. After that restart the MetaTrader 4 terminal. Make sure that the terminal is connected and in service.
3. Open a new Chart Window for any forex pair you want (for example, EURUSD) and keep it running all the time!
4. Go to Expert Advisors in Navigator window and double click on "eKVM-BTC-Chart". Under Common tab in settings dialog, make sure to check "Allow DLL imports" and "Allow imports of external experts", and uncheck "Confirm DLL function calls". Then click OK.
5. After the EA has processed some data, go to File -> Open Offline, choose one of the timeframes - "mtgoxUSD,M1", "mtgoxUSD,M5" etc. and click Open. Now you can add your indicators or template to customize the chart as you want.
