I am able to draw more than 5000 bars by customizing the blocks and adding the input length parameter. But how can I export more than 5000 bar data?

In case SF5 cannot export more than 5000 bars - Is it possible to read the SF5 data files directly via some script or program?

Thanks

There isn't a way to export more than 5000 bars of data or to directly read StockFinder's data using any existing script or program besides StockFinder itself.

If I need to export more than 5000 bars (which I've only done a few times), I manually create a an indicator duplicating the indicator I want to export from 5000 bars ago. Then I export both the main indicator and its 5000 bars ago version.

hi bruce 

could you please give me more details about how to create the duplicate indicator. say i have a macd of a T2 indicator I want to export. how to force the export window to export more than 5000 of this?

some example will really help a lot.

thanks in advance

The easiest thing to do is just add a 1-period moving average to the indicator. And set the offset to 5000 bars (you might want to try 4999 if you see a gap, but you shouldn't need to do so).

Then you would export both the indicator and the offset moving average..

Hi Bruce

I tried the method you described several ways but no luck. For instance I am trying to export hourly prices of NYSE or DJ-30. After I set the "Length Limit" in the block diagram - I can see the bars from Jun 2009. But when I export the data with the MA1 (with offset of 4999) - I only get the data from 2012 onwards.

Please help.

Thanks

It works for me as far as exporting the values of the data. The dates are going to be for the current bar and not x bars ago however.

You could try something like the following RealCode Indicator, but you would need to edit the Block Diagram of the RealCode Indicator to add a Length Limit Block to get to the older data. You might even need to keep re-adding the Length Limit Block on occassion because a re-compile of the RealCode can cause the Block Diagram to get re-created.

Label = Price.DateValue(5000)
OpenValue = Price.Open(5000)
HighValue = Price.High(5000)
LowValue = Price.Low(5000)
Plot = Price.Close(5000)

Note that you are still going to get the current dates as part of the export, but you should also get a field as part of the export for the Label.
