Convert: easyLanguage to MT5

New comment
 

Hello guys

This is a Tradestation easylanguage indicator that creates and update ascii data file in real time as new data appears on the Tradestation chart. Dynamic trader charting software then reads and charts these ascii file real time. Can someone help me translate this to mt5 indicator

Thanks

Search for csv files  and find that is colsest to you ideas and change it according to your needs.

If you place the cursor on e.g. FileOpen and press F1 you are directed to the reference of this function and there you find examples too.
