I set a path for my files: C:\This PC\Documents\tick data
When I try to download I get an error message:
Access to the path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Tickstory\{}.cvs denied
Can you help me figuring out the problem?
Thank you

Hi Cristina,
The output location you have specified is not a writable folder and therefore you are getting an "Access denied" message.
For clarity, there are several areas where you can specify file paths. In
File->
Settings->
Store Location. This is where all your cached tick data will be stored (this data is in a special compressed format and is for internal use only by Tickstory).
The other location (and I think this is the one you are referring to), is in
Tools->
Export to file->
Filename. For this file specification, please use the
full path-name to store the data (default is in the current folder which is not writable in your case). Instead, specify something like:
Code: Select all
C:\Users\MyUserName\Documents\{Symbol}.csv
Please refer to our FAQ for more information and help:

And also please check out our video here that explains exporting to file in detail (turn on Closed Captions (CC) for important subtitled information):

(And dont forget you can
search this forum for your "access denied" error message for further help).
Thanks.
