Hello,

There is no need for special "support" for that.
You can put tick data into database, just import them:
combine 2&3 into datetime field and put price and volume in separate fields,
then in plugin configuration screen define open, high, low, close fields
to point to single PRICE field that you have in your database.

Best regards,
