Using Carroll's directions above I wrote the following indicator in Power
Editor:
If CurrentBar = 1 then begin
Plot1(Close,"Close");
Print(File("c:\DCL8M.txt"),"Date ",Date:6:0);
end;
If Date <> Date[1] then Print(File("c:\DCL8M.txt"),"Date ",Date:6:0);
Print(File("c:\DCL8M.txt"),Time:4:0,Close:5:2);
If you insert this indicator in a 1-tick chart of DCL8M and open the
"workspace" as Carroll suggests you generate the ASCII file c:\DCL8M.txt
which starts as follows:
Date 980401
1016 15.97
1017 15.97
1017 15.96
1018 15.95
1019 15.94
To generate the ASCII file for SP8M, the June 98 S&P, replace each
occurrence of "DCL8M" in the indicator above with SP8M, save it as a new
indicator, and insert the new indicator in a 1-tick chart of SP8M.
I hope this helps.
