I am new to SC, and love it so far. The biggest obstacle is going to be learning a new programming language and C++ is certainly a challenge for me. I am pretty good with EasyLanguage and I am coming from MultiCharts (and before that TradeStation) where I wrote a lot of my own custom stuff.
There is really only one indicator that I need right off the bat so I am hoping someone may know how to do this or point me to it if it already exists somewhere. I use a second program that does not connect to my real time data feed but will update with ASCII data files. So in MC I would simply write the data (Date, Time, Open, High, Low, Close) from a chart to a file that would be named with whatever symbol and resolution was on the chart. Each time a bar closed the file would be updated with the new data. Here is the EL code:
The output file will be "CLM3_1min.csv" if its applied to a 1 minute chart of CL. I looked through the built in and custom indicators included with SC and did not see anything that looked like it would do this. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
You have some control over the format. It updates realtime but beware that it does not write the current bar until it is completed (which I think is fair enough).
If this does not meet your needs, I am certain that a user has posted to the SC forum a piece of ACSIL code that does the job. I think this was done before SC created their study.
