Automatic Tick data Downloading

[trend]

Is there any way to automatically download tick data every 5 or 10 days using an EFS? I cant tell you how many times I have missed a download and had to scrape to get the missing data. It has become a real PITA. I need 1 tick data for the ES only but really dont want to have to do it manually.

I have to go and buy all of 2006 ES data cause I have missed so much and the file is just not complete. I cant seem to find it anywhere or from anyone on here.

Thanks.

Hello trend,

EFS does not have the ability to download tick data to local files. However, please feel free to submit a request for this type of feature to [email protected].

Create a layout _AB ,set resolution 1280x1024( i believe) , create text file referenced in "Loop, .. " line with your symbols- one per line, no blank lines. Give it a try. Mouse & keyboard are Live while this script runs. On rare occasion the file name/symbol gets "doubled". Best way to learn this script is to " Record " your own mouse movements and keystrokes AS you do a Tick Download and see what 'your' code looks like then compare to mine. I do one dummy download first , to set the download directory.
