Import 1min data, then build strategy with 5 or 15min timeframe?

Hello, everyone,
In some posts here, and by the SQ’s help documents.
I know that we can import tick or 1min data, then build strategy with higher time frame data(5min,15min,etc).
But After import 1min data(From MultiCharts), I can only build strategy in 1min timeframe.
And using MT4’s 1min data, I could use higher time frame.
I found MT4’s 1min data, it not normal min data, the time column is 0 always.
Would SQ3.8 support normal 1min data? the sample file I attach here

PS.
I retest my data.
When I change the symbol data type to MT4, import 1min futures data, then SQ can convert the min data to 5min, 30min and so on.
But as Ninja/TS/futurs type, importing absloutly same price data, SQ can’t transfer 1min to higher timeframe data automaticly.
So, I think this would be a BUG!

it is not a bug, StrategyQuant currently supports computing higher timeframes form MetaTrader data only.
It will be added also for the other type of data in the next version. The data for MetaTrader and TS/NT are not the same, so it will require slightly different algorithm to compute higher timeframes.
