New Version of WriteTrades

Posted: June 28, 2010

The WriteTrades function is used to generate a list of trades from a TradeStation chart for use in Market System Analyzer (MSA). This version, called WriteTradesSym, appends the symbol name to the file name used to store the trade data. It's designed to make it easier to use WriteTrades when the same strategy is applied to multiple charts. Instead of having to change the file name manually for each chart in which the strategy is applied, the file name will be created automatically to match the chart symbol.

To use WriteTradesSym, enter the file name input without the file extension. WriteTradesSym will automatically append the symbol name and the extension ".csv". For example, if you enter the name as "C:\MyFileName", and the symbol is "MSFT", the output of WriteTradesSym will be written to "C:\MyFileNameMSFT.csv".
