Exporting OHLC data out of TOS


Category:

I’m trying to compare OHLC data from Thinkorswim to Amibroker so I can compare studies/strategies for 1/5min candles.  I see you can do daily OHLC in the MarketWatch of TOS and export to Excel but I need a large supply of data (500 candles worth) to do an accurate comparison in above time frame. Any thoughts or suggestions?

This question was answered here: https://www.hahn-tech.com/ans/can-i-export-chart-data-from-thinkorswim-into-an-excel-spreadsheet/

The short answer is no, but there may be a workaround. I should also mention that if you are dealing with Daily Futures Data, Thinkorswim will display one of two values for the daily close and this can vary greatly from other data sources. Most all data sources on the planet provide the daily settlement as the daily closing price for Futures contracts. Thinkorswim will use the close of the trading day, unless you change this in the chart settings.
