Default Copying selected values into clipboard

Hello,

is it possible to copy values from the Databox into clipboard somehow? The Databox is changing values dynamically on mouse move, which is not very practical for backtesting.
I'm searching how to "lock" the databox values when clicking on the specific candlestick so I could copy the open/close values and put them in Excel.

Or does any other possibility how to copy the open/close values for a selected candlestick exists?

Thanks,

Robert

Hello Robert,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately this option is not available at this time within NinjaTrader however, I will forward this to our development team for future considerations.


You may however export Minute data which will have the following format:

yyyyMMdd HHmmss;open price;high price;low price;close price;volume

I have provided a link below to our Help Guide that goes over Exporting Data.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Hello Christopher,

thank you for your advice, but exporting the data is not exactly what I mean.

When performing backtest, I need to transfer the open/close values for a particular candlestick into excel. It would be perfect, if the candlestick could be selected and you could copy the values from the Databox. Or at least write it down manually.

Do you think it would be possible to copy the values using some script?

Thank you,

Robert

The only way to do this with a script is with the following examples:

If you yourself are not a programmer, any of the NinjaScript consultants listed at the following link could code this project for you:
