Writing indicator value into external file

pawelsz · #1 (**permalink**) 02-05-2007, 02:31 PM

Hello.

I want to save current value of RSI and STOCHASTIC indicator into external file every 5 minutes. It is possible ?

I know that this should be easy for computer wizards.

I wish to have output like this:

2006-02-05 16:25 RSI: 50 Stochastic: 45, 32

etc..

Thank you for helping.

HI !
One super easy solution for this is to write a script that will be using Print function and will be throwing those messages once per bar, and attach it to m5 chart. Then just take Log file and you have your answer

Of course the best way to get that kind of file is to use file functions implemented in metatrader.

Code:

extern int timerr = 1;

while(timerr == 1)
{
Sleep(3500000);// Is that 5 minutes ? i dont know in 100%.

//script here
//...

}
