Hi Ticktock,

If you would like to bypass the use of CSV files, you can use Tickstory's "Export to MT4" feature which will directly create the Metatrader 4 history (HST) files that will allow you to view charts. If you want to save disk space and only view charts (as opposed to also doing tick data back-testing), you can uncheck all the "FXT timeframes" (M1, M5, etc) in the MT4 Export window. This will ensure only the bar chart data is exported but not tick data, saving a lot of disk space.

Hope this helps.
