Hi Bob,

Thanks for your reply. This is interesting, I didn't know this was possible.
I'll try it.

Sincerely,
Michael

re: TS 8 / radar Screen

I want to output a price data file for each symbol on a list.
I would like the file to contain: date: time, open, high, low,close, volume.
I want the data in 5 minute interval, from the beginning of the file history, to the current date.

I wrote an indicator to apply to a list in Radar Screen, but got the message:
Unable to apply the Analysis Technique : study doesn't contain plot information.

Suggestions?

Try adding a plot statement.

Plot1(" ", "1"); :-)

Seriously though, this will only work of you tell the indicator to load some huge number of additional bars of data. RadarScreen only loads the number of bars it needs to plot the equivalent of the LastbarOnChart.

You would be better you run the indicator on a chart.

Set a chart to load all the data you need of some symbol.

Set the Symbol Link on the chart to "Local Listener"

Put all the symbols you want in RadarScreen.

Now click on the first symbol in RadarScreen. The chart should load that symbol and write the file for that symbol.

Now hit "Enter" twice. (The first time moves a row but does not load a chart.) The second time loads the next symbol. This should write the file for the next symbol.

Now keep hitting Enter until you have covered all the symbols.

Obviously, you need to have different file names for each symbol to avoid overwriting each time. Or use FileAppend to add all the data to a single file.
