I followed the informed steps so that I could leave my spread fixed at 15 points, I imported the bars and ticks data into my metatrader 5 and the spread was zeroed (0), I would sincerely like to know exactly how to make this work correctly .

I selected in (Output Format) "Custom".
Then I entered the following:
{BarBeginTime:yyyyMMdd},{BarBeginTime:HH\:mm\:ss},{Open},{High},{Low},{Close},{BarTickCount},{BarTickCount},15

for ticks, the same situation

I selected in (Output Format) "Custom".
Then I entered the following:
{BarBeginTime:yyyyMMdd},{BarBeginTime:HH\:mm\:ss},{Open},{High},{Low},{Close},{BarTickCount},{BarTickCount},15
{Timestamp:yyyyMMdd},{Timestamp:HH\:mm\:ss},{BidPrice},{BidPrice+0.00015},{BidPrice+0.00015},{BidVolume:F0}

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Ontradingx,

You might want to elaborate on what you mean by "zeroed". Attached are the screenshots showing the bar and tick data that has been imported into MT5 with the custom formats you mentioned.

Thanks.
