Exporting TeleChart 2005/2007 to ASCII
Insider
TA Professional software reads
from the newest TeleChart 2005 database automatically. The
following discussion is for those who still use Insider TA Standard which
can only load ASCII data. Here we show you how to convert your
TeleChart data to ASCII files.
In TeleChart top menu bar, click Databank and then select Data
Export to text. Now follow these steps: 
- When the Data Export to Text appears, select the
watchlist to export ("Dow Jones 30 Industrial Component Stocks" is
shown in the picture).
- In the "Available Data Fields" list, highlight a desired data field
- ... and then click the Add button
- ... to place the data field into the "Export Fields (In Order)" list.
Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 for each data field, in the order Date, Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume.
- Set the Data Delimiter to COMMA.
- In the "Export File(s)" block, select "Multiple Files".
- Using the slide tab, select the number of days to export (anywhere
around 750 to 1000 is suitable for InsiderTA).
- In the Export Path box, identify where you want the ASCII files
to be created. Remember this directory, because you will need
to enter it into Insider TA.
- In the Dates Ascending box, select "Ascending" (this is important!)
- Click the "Export" button. Exporting ASCII files to the specified directory (in the above example, this will be "C:\Program Files\TeleChart\Export" will commence. When an "Export complete" message pops up, you're done!
C:\Program Files\TeleChart\Export\*.txt
