Loading M1 FTSE100 data results in “Intraday” timeframe?

Hi Mark and Team,

I’ve used TickStory to download 2012 to 2015 FTSE100 data as 1 minute bars.

Importing the data into SQ3 show the timeframe as Intraday rather than M1 like it does for forex pairs and gold.

Looking at the raw data it appears to be 1 minute interval OHLC and volume data, so what is making SQ3 treat this data differently?

It means I can’t test M1 or Tick Simulation mode…..

It should be recognized. Have you tried higher timeframe like 5 minutes? There can be some inconsistency in the data file which causes incorrect interpretation of the data. Maybe you could zip the data and upload somewhere so we can check

Hi mikey,

3 years of datasequence is very short period.

I think it is better to look for a source with longer period of FTSE100

Hi Thomas,

I haven’t found any source that goes back further with M1 or tick resolution.

i had the same problem with XAGUSD M1, i am using tick instead.

if you can download tick data it will be allright i think.
