Printing Indicator Values to File

[RambleDog 10]

Hey Forum,

 

I need help getting easy language to dump an indicator value to file. I use a proprietary indicator to which I don't have access to the source code, but I did want to dumb the value it calculates to a file along with the HLOC of each bar. The value of the indicator is posted in the data window so I was hoping I could access it. If I had the source code this would be easy, but as I mentioned the owner isn't selling source code at this point. Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks,

Simply load as much data into a chart as you want. Run the indicator. From the View menu select data window and then hit the disk icon to save all the data into a comma delimited file that you can easily import into any spreadsheet or database.

 

The file will contain time/date, HLOC & volume info for each bar as well as the values of the indicator.

 

While you have the data window open you can click on any bar and its values and well as the indicators's value will appear in the data window..
