Further notes:

U can achieve the same by editing the header of your HST and placing it in the proper directory (while Terminal is closed). HST header structure is known (search the forum).
Note that the Tester would still use market properties for the selected symbol and not your symbol...

THANK YOU GORDON. I was thinking in doing that too. sad that I have to use currency symbols with my data, but it the end I get to my goal of testing, so I am ok with the solution.

Well, another option is trying to find a broker that does support your symbol of choice and importing the data. A good place to search -> http://www.100forexbrokers.com/fx/broker_search.php.
