Export csv or txt OCHL data

[net4walk]

Could anybody show me how to develop EFS to export OCHL E-Mini future's data automatically every day, I need 5min, daily, day session only and 24 hrs data,also plus S&P 500 Cash index daily bars. Any form of text format data would do

Thanks in advance

Try using the TOOLS -> DATA EXPORT feature before you try developing an efs to accomplish this.

Thank you doji3333 for the reply, I did try Tool/data export....., it take too much time doing it every day, just wondering if it's possible to automate it using EFS. I am a programmer. All I need is that anybody could be so kind to provide me a little sample showing me how to read external symbols and write that to a text file, so I don't have to read a lot of EFS document.

Thanks again

ive been working on an efs to save OHLC to a text file, its not done yet, and its written for FOREX (specifically JPY pairs..) its not done yet.. but this is what i have

PS: this is where it saves on my computer, the directory should be similar for you too "C:\Program Files (x86)\eSignal\FormulaOutput"
