Export Indi to CSV from chart - MT4

[mailfilter888]

Hi

Is someone able to develop an MT4 script to export chart indicator data (with OHLC & vol) to a csv file without having to separately set parameters for the indicator in the script?

For example an indicator may have 20 different parameters which have already been set to display on the chart and this script would export the output of the indicator. Current scripts out there require the user to input the parameters again (using icustom) to then separately to export to a csv file.


Thanks.

You want to write OHLC data to CSV

I do not understand this bit.

Writing OHLC and volume to CSV is not an issue in MT4 under "Save as" however this doesn't save indicator data on the chart.

There's scripts out there which allow indicators to be saved, but it is based on specifying parameters for the indi in the script (see example below). In my case it is a custom indicator with many parameters rather than a simple MA, RSI etc which you can specify the period parameter etc.

To put it simply I would like to save the numbers in a chart to a CSV file including numbers of the indicators in the main window and any in separate indicator windows.

As far as I know, It's impossible in MT4
