ok. if you really need to use EOD having  already 1min, there is my 
suggestion:
1. in 1 min chart use your formula to create your indicator, then you should 
add to your code AddColumn() and you can export it to ascii file
2. in EOD data base import your indicator and just use it as a substitute of 
security.

Another option could be a AddToComposite() - that creates a symbol that can be 
exported/imported/etc...

I think the AtC solution is somehow better (my feeling only).

Hope this help.

All the Best,
