DESCRIPTION

can't get this to work, it just says waiting to start...is it cause bitcoincharts is down?

This Expert Advisor (EA) for MetaTrader 4 (MT4) imports mtgoxUSD historic tick data using Bitcoincharts API.
It supports auto refresh after regular intervals, however the ticks are delayed in time by approximately 15 minutes as described in the API documentation

INSTALLATION

1. First of all download and put the EA in this directory, by default:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader 4\experts , If you use Windows 7 64 bit or
C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\experts , If you use Windows 7 32 bit edition.

Keep in mind that MT4 directory might be your broker name!

2. After that restart the MT4 terminal!

3. Open a new window for any pair you want, for example EURUSD and keep it open all the time.

4. Go to Expert Advisors in Navigator Window, look for "eKVM-BTC-Chart", double click on it, under Common, make sure that "Allow DLL imports" and "Allow imports of external experts" are checked, then click OK.

5. After the EA has processed some data, go to File -> Open Offline, look for "mtgoxUSD,M1" and click on Open, a new chart window will open named "mtgoxUSD,M1 (offline)". Now you can add your indicators or template or customize the chart as you want.

6. The last but not least, go to Tools -> Options -> tab Charts, then change "Max bars in history" and "Max bars in chart" to the maximum number possible, for example: 9999999999999 and OK! We do this step to let MT4 use all the data in the history!
