I know this might be an odd request, but my strategies rely on the ES price at the NYSE market open. I created an excel calculator to work out my calculations, but I currently have manually type in the price. I'm looking to reduce chance of errors and speed up my response time by selecting the opening price somewhere and pasting it into excel. Here are the things I've tried:
1.) Copying the Opening Price from data info - no good, can't select text in the data info box
2.) Creating scripts to print the price on the chart - no good, can't select text printed on the chart by a script
3.) Sending a time-based alert to email with the price - promising, but not working - I'm able to configure an alert to fire off at 6:30 PST and receive it in my email quickly enough, but "@price" shortcode adds "5 Minutes" (my chart timeframe) to the message instead of the bar's opening price.
I don't see why it is so hard to grab a price can copy it to the clipboard. If anyone else has an idea on how to get this done, I would love to hear it.
