Re: Chart Scanner

The brute force method would be to construct a chart in TradeStation with
the near contract as Data1, the next contract out as Data2 and Data3 (the
spread) would be calculated as Data1-Data2.  You could then use View/Data
Window/Send to file to get the spread data into an ASCII file.  You could
then strip the ASCII file of the Data1/Data2 information, bring it back into
TradeStation so the spread data would be Data1.  You could then use
Chartscanner.

If there is a more elegant solution I'd be interested to hear it as well.
