Hi,

I'm looking for a way to export many symbols' OHLC data to csv (Excel) format. The above link in this topic is to the home page of the User Contributed Studies forum rather than to the study itself. Rather than wade through all 22 pages of topics, can anyone post a link to the indicator referred to?

Otherwise if anyone knows a way to export data en mass, I'd appreciate if they could post. I know you can export to QMD format in QuoteManager (File, Export all Symbols), but:

1. This doesn't actually download the data, just exports what's already in QM
2. It exports to QMD format which there is no way to convert to CSV.

Many thanks.

Look up the keyword PRINT.
It writes whatever you want to an ascii file.

Thanks TJ, I'll look into writing my own script unless anyone can post some code. Wanted to save time as I can't believe no-one has done this before. Ideally I'd like the following functionality:
- writes the symbol name as filename,
- the exchange as folder,
- GMT time zone,
- Tick, minute or daily

What would be ultra-cool would be the ability to cycle say 100 symbols at a time in a screener until all the symbols in the data feed have been downloaded.

If any MC devs read this, exporting multiple symbols to ASCII\CSV would be a great feature, and often-used I'm sure.
