Usage

main.py

Downloads a range of .bi5 files from Dukascopy

Step 1.) Configure

To configure, open main.py and set the ctx variables at the top of the file as follows:

• cache_loc: Location where files will be downloaded
• session_sym: Symbol to download (e.g. 'EURUSD')
• session_start_date: Date to begin downloading from (e.g. for January 1st 2019: "2019-01-01")
• session_start_hour: Hour to begin downloading (0-23)
• session_duration_hrs: Number of hours worth of data to download (e.g. for 1 week: 24*7)

Step 2.) Run

python .\main.py

bi5-csv.py

Converts (.bi5) files to (.csv) format. --in_file can be a single file or a while directory

python .\bi5-csv.py [-h] --in_file IN_FILE [--out_file OUT_FILE]

hint: After running main.py, set --in_file to the same directory as the cache_loc variable from above.

e.g.)

If main.py was configured as:

ctx['cache_loc'] = r'C:/Users/<user_name>/FXCACHE/'

you would run:

python .\bi5-csv.py --in_file 'C:/Users/<user_name>/FXCACHE/'
