MQL4: Converting Tick Stream Files
Hello, fellow young (and not so young) programmers!
In the previous lesson we wrote a simple indicator that displays Bid and Ask prices in the lower part of the chart, and also writes them to files with the *.tks extension. Surely the most curious have already tried using Notepad or the Excel program to open these files to see what is inside them, and saw gibberish. Yes, that is exactly how it should be, do not be alarmed.
So, our database of tick quotes has begun to grow, and the question arises before us of how to convert our .tks files into a normal form. This is what we will do in today's lesson. We will write a script to convert the data into a format for working with MT4.

The following lessons are from the "Working with Quotes" series:
- MQL4: Merging tick files
- MQL4: Analyzing accumulated tick history
- MQL4: Testing on real historical data
