How to import data into a different symbol name?

Post by robe070 »

I'm downloading GBRIDXGBP.
My MT4 uses .UK100, and I'm in Australia
How do I download the former into the latter?

Hi Robe070,

When exporting, you need to map your symbol if your broker symbol name is different to what appears in Tickstory. In your example, the Tickstory symbol name "GBRIDXGBP" and your broker is called ".UK100". You will need to specify this in the Export To MT4->Metatrader Info->Map To field when exporting. Please check out the section in the manual about "Mapping" your symbol (or search this forum for "Map to" for further examples and information).

Thanks.
