? Universal CSV Data Reader v3.0 - Free MotiveWave Study
Overview
I'm sharing a universal CSV reader study that I developed for MotiveWave. This study allows you to load and display data from ANY CSV file with real-time updates. No more creating
separate studies for each symbol!

Key Features
- Universal File Support: Select any CSV file through MotiveWave's native file dialog
- Symbol Filtering: Display any symbol from your CSV (configurable)
- Real-Time Updates: Automatic refresh every 5 seconds
- Memory Efficient: Historical bars use close-only, recent bars full OHLC
- Professional Architecture: Based on proven hybrid pattern with incremental loading
? CSV Format Expected
Date,Time,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume,Symbol
2025-08-19,08:16:28,0.1234,0.1250,0.1230,0.1245,1000,YOUR_SYMBOL
The study filters by the Symbol column (8th column) to display only the data you want.
