Special “tokens” are simply text within parenthesis that is translated by the system before being output. For example, the {Symbol} token automatically gets translated into the instrument symbol that is currently being exported (eg. “EURUSD”). Below is a list of special tokens that are recognised by the system and you can use to design your own custom export file formats.
(These fields are only applicable when generating bar data i.e. all except for 'Tick' time frame)
(These fields only applicable when using 'Tick' time frame)
The specifiers below allow you to fine-tune the format of any date/time fields.
Outputting the Tick Time-stamp
{Timestamp:yyyyMMdd HHmmss}
yields
20120112 010210
(Note: You must be using the 'Tick' timeframe to output the Timestamp token).
Outputting the Bar Time-stamp
{BarBeginTime:yyyy-MM-dd},{BarBeginTime:HH:mm}
yields
2016-12-11,09:10
(Note: You must be using a bar time-frame (such as '5 minutes)' to output the BarBeginTime token).
