Automating downloading of data
Posted: Sun Oct 27, 2013 1:21 pm
Hi
Thank-you very much for providing us with such a great data tool. It is of benefit to me to be able to download data for FX in such a straightforward way. If other data-sets were also available then I would also make use of them, such as Commodities!
How I use Tickstory - I have a manual daily routine that Exports to a csv file daily data for the previous day, for all currency pairs. The parameters in the Data Output section and the Custom Output Format section always remain the same for each export, with the exception of me having to change the From and To dates. So when doing this routine on a Thursday I would set the From/To dates to Weds, doing the routine on Friday I set the From/To dates to Thursday.
What I wish to do is to automate this task so Tickstory automatically runs at a specified time on a daily basis. I would then collect the csv files that have been exported for all the currencies, and do my analysis.
For example, to start Tickstory at 0300GMT every day between Mon-Sat, and export to a csv file the previous days daily data for all currencies, using the same custom output format I have already specified.
Thank-you.
