[Release] Historical data download helper

[Elijahxtm]

Hi everyone. I know this is my first post on the forum but I am making this post to help everyone, else with a problem that I had which was limiting my use of NinjaTrader.
I was not able to find this online for free, so I want to share this simple script which I created and I hope you guys are welcoming of that because as far as I know, we are limited to downloading 1 day at a time. I seen there were solutions available online for a fee unfortunately I do not have the funds and I'm sure there are others like myself who would appreciate this.
I present you all with this simple autohotkey script which you can build and compile yourself.
What this does is automate the process of entering all the dates so you don't have to manually click for every day. This is essentially useful if you plan on trying to download over a year worth of data, and are limited to manually downloading every day.
How it works is press F10 to get the location and color for the download button
Press F11 to get the location to click to enter text
Press F12 to activate which Checks for the color for the download box at the location to click the download button, in order to see if its possible to continue
Then the text is automatically entered for you in descending dates based on the start day you provided.
Further instructions can be found in the comments. Thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoy this release I hope I can at least help one person. Thank you all again, and good luck traders.
