Saving data as CSV

I know you can save chart prices as a CSV file but is it possible to save the data from the seperate indicator window? For example the values of RSI, ATR, etc.

Creating a csv file for any indicator is straightforward if you have a basic working knowledge of MetaTrader programming. Whether it plots in the chart window or a separate window is not relevant. I put together the attached script to get you started. It demonstrates several elements that should be helpful. Place it in the scripts folder. When compiled Moving_Average_history_script will be located under Scripts in the Navigator. Drag it to the desired chart. A csv history file will be created in the …\experts\files folder. Use a text editor to read the file which will begin with MA_history. The csv text file is simple and formated for readability. I used the moving average because it is easy to verify the csv results by comparision to a plot on the chart of a moving average indicator with the same settings. Once you understand the basic method of extracting data you can acquire just about any data that you need.

OHLCV data from MT4 can be extracted to csv files by using the History Center export. After some time exporting, cutting, pasting and deleting to get the data that I wanted I wrote a script to do this. The advantage of the script is the ability to pre-select the start and end times and the flexibility in formating the data. For any one time period, sixteen csv files for all the pairs carried by StrategyBuilderFX can be created by one drag and drop on to any active chart.

This script does not directly address the collection of indicator data but does demonstrate a more comprehensive method of data manipulation.

I tried to use your OHLCV script but it didn't work.

I'm getting critical error: Array out of range on this line

double array_period[][6];

which I changed from:

double array_period[0][6];

which got an error for invalid index.

How to fix this?
