This topic has been discussed in back issues of TS Express. You need to use
the GetSymbolName command with the FileAppend print command. You need to be
careful that there are no spaces in the file name. This can be a problem
since some of the vendors include spaces in the Symbol name. I offer a
utility for $75.00 called SystemStatsScanner which works with the Chart
Scanner to output results to a file. It automatically grabs the symbol name
and checks for spaces. It can assemble stats in a coma seperated file that
can be read by Excel or other spreadsheet program. You can run it on a
Custom Data List of any number of stocks or you can use it on an individual
commodity.
