Auto saving/export of MT4 Data

New comment
 
Hi is there any way to automatically save data from MT4 into CSV format? I have to go to each chart and manually click on File>Save as then save the entire history for the instrument, Doing this manually everyday becomes a very time consuming process. Is there any indicator or script that will save MT4 data for all time frames that I specify automatically?

That's usually your indication that you've asked a question that is viewed as being easily answerable if you invested a little more of your time into searching the code database and forums using the search function...or that you've asked a question that doesn't intrigue anyone enough to dig into it.
 
I did some searching however I was not able to find any tool that would perform the required function so that is why I posted for assistance. Can you tell me if there is any tool that performs the requested functions?
 

You can use the "Export-RT-Historical-Data-for-Ramp" MT4 indicator. It creates real time streaming .csv files that you can open in excel or any other program. It is free at http://www.ramprt.com/mt4/Ramp-MT4-Connection-Instructions.htm.

How many hundred more old and long forgotten threads are you going to bump to the front page with the exact same message?

I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO AQCUIRE THIS SCRIPT PLEASE TRY AND ASSISST ME MODIFY TO SUIT MY STYLE. IT EXPORTS THE HISTORICAL DATA IN CSV FORMAT ALRIGHT TO FILEOPENDATA FOLDER ALRIGHT BUT HAS THE FOLLOWING DEFICIENCIES.

1. CAN ONLY UPDATE THE HISTORY OF A SINGLE PAIR AND A SINGLE TIMEFRAME AT A TIME. I WANT IT MODIFIED TO MODIFY MANY PAIRS ABOUT 32(AUDCAD,AUDCHF,AUDJPY,AUDNZD,AUDUSD,CHFJPY,CADCHF,CADJPY,EURUSD,EURJPY,EURNZD,EURAUD,EURCAD ETC. ALL 32PAIRS.

2. SAVE ONLY THE H4=240,D1=1440,W1=3200 AND MN1=10080 TIMFRAMES FOR EACH OF THE 32 PAIRS LIKE ABOVE.

3. THE EXPORTED CSV FILE DOES NOT ARRANGE THE DATES AND DATA FROM THE LATER TO THE EARLIER BUT ARE AT RANDOM SORT OF.THE LAST DATA IS NOT THE EARLIEST BUT A DIFFERENT ONE TOGETHER.

4. THE COLUMS SHOULD BE IN THIS ORDER, DATE,TIME,OPEN,HIGH,LOW,CLOSE,VOLUME AND NOT MIXED UP

5. MAXIMUM OF 500 ROWS OF DATA FOR EACH PAIR AND TIME FRAME INCLUDING THE EARLIEST DATA.

int start()
  {
         GetHistory("USDCAD240.HST");
  }
 
  void GetHistory(string FileName)
  {
     int    i, start_pos, i_time, time0, last_fpos, periodseconds;
   double d_open, d_low, d_high, d_close, d_volume, last_volume;
   int    hwnd=0,cnt=0;
//---- History header
   int    version=400;
   string c_copyright;
   string c_symbol=Symbol();
   int    i_period=0;
   int    i_digits=Digits;
   int    i_unused[13];
  
      string str;
      int ExtHandle=FileOpenHistory(FileName,FILE_BIN|FILE_READ);
      if(ExtHandle<1)
      {
         Print("Cannot create file ", FileName);
         return(false);
      }
     
      // Get filename only
      int iPos = StringFind(FileName,".");
      string outFile = StringSubstr(FileName, 0, iPos) + ".CSV";
     
      // Open output file
      int Handle = FileOpen(outFile, FILE_CSV | FILE_WRITE, ',');

      // read header
      version = FileReadInteger(ExtHandle, LONG_VALUE);
      c_copyright = FileReadString(ExtHandle, 64);
      c_symbol = FileReadString(ExtHandle, 12);
      i_period = FileReadInteger(ExtHandle, LONG_VALUE);
      i_digits = FileReadInteger(ExtHandle, LONG_VALUE);
      int ii = FileReadInteger(ExtHandle, LONG_VALUE);       //timesign
      ii = FileReadInteger(ExtHandle, LONG_VALUE);       //last_sync
      FileReadArray(ExtHandle, i_unused, 0, 13);

        // Read the next line history
      while (!FileIsEnding(ExtHandle))
      {
            i_time = FileReadInteger(ExtHandle, LONG_VALUE);
            d_open = FileReadDouble(ExtHandle,  DOUBLE_VALUE);
            d_low = FileReadDouble(ExtHandle,  DOUBLE_VALUE);
            d_high = FileReadDouble(ExtHandle,  DOUBLE_VALUE);
            d_close = FileReadDouble(ExtHandle,  DOUBLE_VALUE);
            d_volume = FileReadDouble(ExtHandle,  DOUBLE_VALUE);
        
            if (d_open > 0) // if not end of file
            {
               FileWrite(Handle, TimeToStr(i_time,TIME_DATE),TimeToStr(i_time,TIME_MINUTES), d_open,d_high, d_low,d_close, d_volume);
            }
       }    

      FileClose(ExtHandle);
      FileClose(Handle);
  
  
//----
   return(0);
  }
