[Programming Help] - How To Convert Sierra Tick Data To MT4 Format?

Hi there, can someone help me with this? I also use MT4 to trade and I like to replay some indicators in it´s backtester, but without high quality tick the tester will use artificial ticks generated with 1min timeframe. So I have this script in MT4 called "CSV2FXT", which will grab a .csv file with tick data and convert to .hst and .fxt for MT4, so the backtester will give you a 99.99% modelling quality result. But the format of the data in the file exported by Sierra is not recognized by it. I was using a software called "quantdatamanager" which downloads tick data from Dukascopy and then export the .csv file in a format that the MT4 script understands, but the data is not very good. I have uploaded to this link here both files (Sierra´s and Quant´s) so you can compare: https://file.io/C21rS1ISYo5y I was gonna edit it manually, but I can´t figure out what is the bid price and what is the ask price in Sierra file (it has a column for date, time, open, high, low, close, bid, ask, volume), but MT4 only needs Date, Time (both in the same column separated by a space), bid (price),ask (price), volume. I will really be thankful if someone can help me do it. Best regards
