Use hard links

Post by julope334 »

When you generate tickdata files for different time frames the files are identical so it would be better if you generate only one and then create hard links for the other time frames. This would be faster and use less disk space.

Hi Julope,

Thanks for the suggestion although unfortunately this will not work. The MT4 FXT data files for each timeframe differ slightly in their headers. If these files do not have the information that MT4 expects, it will give an error.

Regards.
