Hi Roy,

I would definitely like to get ,ore than the current value, but not all the
history.

The ideal solution would be

For indicator = 1 to z

	For security = 1 to n

	MS Opens security
	MS Plots Indicator one
	MS Stores values in memory
      MS Closes security

	Next security

	Create on text file :

	Indicator1, Security 1, date1, value
	Indicator1, Security 1, date2, value
	Indicator1, Security 2, date1, value
	Indicator1, Security 2, date2, value

Next indicator

It does look simple ...

Greg.

You don't mention if you want all the history of your indicator or just the
current bar value. Using the explorer to create a report of all current
values is pretty easy, and marking the report (high-light any line other
than the top one and Ctrl/C) to copy to excel likewise. Once in Excel save
as .csv ready to import into a text editor.

Sorry but this solution is only for the current bar of data, not history.
