efs DDE

[mkinfosys]

Hi,

I would like to get all indicator values via DDE into an Excel Spreadsheet. Especially the Volatility Indicators, f.e. ATR.

In my opinion it would be a nice feature if esignal allows all bulit in indicators to be exported via DDE.
I have seen of course the excample of DDE output via efs script but I was not able to implement it into the built in ATR indicator.


Any help on this would be appreciated

ATR DDE

Hey Guys, Any update on the ATR into EXCEL. I tried to insert the ATR into a MA.DDE templant but was unsuccessfull in getting it to activate. If some one gets the time, could they give this one another shot? Thanks

Try using the example provided in the DDEOutput Object article in the EFS KnowledgeBase.
All you need to do is replace study = ema( 10 ); with study = atr( 10 );
If you run into problems post the code you are working on and someone may be available to help

Hello pipdaddy2,

You cannot have any spaces or special characters in the identifier. For a code example of how to parse out spaces and special characters from the getSymbol() result, please see this thread.

Hello pipdaddy2,

The code example I pointed you to is a working example. However, it is not replacing dashes (i.e. "-"). You may just need to add another line of code similar to the other .replace() statements. It should look like this: sName = String.replace("-", "");

Try adding that line and if you are still having trouble, post your formula here and I'll help guide you through the necessary corrections.
