Yes. Just right click on any technical
indicator in any chart and choose "Export Data". You'll be asked
to supply a file name. A descriptive name like "MSFT_MA.txt" will
be supplied by default (when exporting Moving Average data from a chart
of MSFT). The resulting text file will have the following tab
delimited format: MSFT_MA 10/31/2001 27.84
MSFT_MA 11/01/2001 27.97
MSFT_MA 11/02/2001 28.21
MSFT_MA 11/05/2001 28.39
MSFT_MA 11/06/2001 28.57
MSFT_MA 11/07/2001 28.78
MSFT_MA 11/08/2001 29.02
MSFT_MA 11/09/2001 29.26
MSFT_MA 11/12/2001 29.49
MSFT_MA 11/13/2001 29.75
MSFT_MA 11/14/2001 30.01
MSFT_MA 11/15/2001 30.16
MSFT_MA 11/16/2001 30.33
The file contains the time series of values for the selected
technical indicator. The text file will contain a ticker, date/time
stamp, and a numeric value of the indicator at that date/time. The
ticker symbol in the export file will be in the form XXXX_YYYY where
XXXX is the ticker of the underlying instrument and YYYY is a token
representing the indicator exported. For example if you have a five
minute chart of IBM with a moving average indicator, select the
indicator by clicking on the moving average line, then right-click in
the chart to access the popup menu and choose “Export Indicator”. The
exported text file will show the five minute values of the moving
average. The exported ticker in each line of the exported file will be
IBM_MA, in this example. You can export any technical indicator value
series this way, including custom indicators. The data can be imported
into IRT (using File: Import) for further study using other indicators.
You must define the ticker IBM_MA to Investor/RT before importing. We
suggest you use “Cash” as the security type of the imported instrument
so that Investor/RT will not request data from your data service on such
instruments. The export file can, of course, be opened directly by Excel
for further analysis also. |
