ChartToCSV reversion > CSVtoChart to plot stored data in Excel file into a NT8 chart

[NinjaTrader_Jim]

Hello Monares,

The script must be added to a live chart, and then once everything is loaded, the button can be pressed which will read the objects on the chart and write the CSV file.

There would not be a way to automatically create a chart and automatically apply the indicator on weekly intervals.

However, if you wanted to leave the script running on a chart and automatically export data to a CSV file on a timed interval, this would be possible if you modified the script so it triggers the CSV writing functionality off of a timer, or when using a time check in OnBarUpdate. Paul's script implements a ReadWrite() function to read the data on the chart and export to CSV.

To make Time and Day checks easier, you could consider using ToTime() and ToDay()

We look forward to assisting.

Hello, does anyone know of an indicator or package that can pull the chart contents(like from the databox) to a CSV file or program in real time and not just for the historical bars?

Hello greatestNothing,

Thanks for your message.



Unfortunately, we are not aware of any add-on that would convert the chart contents to CSV file, for realtime and historical.

The following add-on converts your chart data to CSV only when a button is hit and only for historical.

Since you stated that you want to record in real-time, a solution to this problem, as Jim mentioned above, is to keep the script running on a chart and automatically export data to a CSV file at regular intervals. You can achieve that by modifying the script to trigger CSV writing based on a timer or by adding time checks within OnBarUpdate(). The script uses a ReadWrite() function to read chart data and export it to a CSV file.

To simplify checking time and day, consider using the built-in ToTime() and ToDay() methods.

hello, that indicator is very useful, but as it says on it's page, can only export a live chart (price is moving) so only current contract, there's any work around so I can export previous contracts?
