Tutorial 112 demonstrates how to transfer price data from a Price Series Provider applied to a chart to an Excel spreadsheet and to keep the data updated as new bars are formed. The tutorial uses the Workbook and PriceSeriesProvider classes.

When the program opens, data from the price series provider is loaded. On the last bar on the chart, data is added to the Excel spreadsheet for each data item in the price series provider.

An example spreadsheet

From then on, each time the price series provider is updated, the new data is added to a new line on the spreadsheet.

EasyLanguage technical lessons

In the tutorial video and the program comments you will learn:

  • How to use the Workbook class
  • How to use the Price Series Provider
  • How to create an update event for the Price Series Provider
  • How to create an uninitialize update event for the program
You can go back as far as the price series provider will allow, however, the larger the data set the longer it will take to do the initial update of the spreadsheet

Inputs

Tutorial 112 does not have inputs. Information for the price series provider (such as symbol name and bar duration) are hard coded in the program, although it would be easy to take this and make it an input.

Video demonstration of tutorial 112


In the above video I included the InitializeComponent method in main body code. This method should only appear in designer generated code and NOT in non-designer code (i.e.) in the area where you are editing the program. Instead you should use the AnalysisTechnique Initialized event. This can be accessed by clicking properties followed by the events icon. Double click in the space to the right of initialized. Alternatively you can use a Once block at the start of the study (after the methods). This is corrected in the download.
