Often our users have created indicators, predictions, etc, in a daily chart that they would like to have access to in an
intraday chart. That isn’t hard to do – basically all you have to do is save the daily data as a text file, and then load it
into the intraday chart as Other Instrument Data. NeuroShell shows the daily value on every bar of the intraday chart. The
following example will illustrate this in more detail for those not familiar with exporting text files.
Let’s suppose that you feel that the 5 day moving average of the Dell daily close is an important input to a Dell model you’d
like to build in a 5 minute chart. You realize that your daily moving average will have the SAME value all day long in the
intraday chart. Here are the steps you’ll need to take:
1. Create your daily chart and insert the 5 day moving average
2. Rename the 5 day moving average to some simple name that does not contain any commas. This is important because we are going
to save the indicator in a comma separated .csv file. At this point your chart should look like the one below, where we have
renamed the indicator "Avg 5 day":
3. Now save the indicator as a .csv file. Go to the Tools menu and select "Export chart/data". Follow the wizard as shown in
the series of images below. Note that we do not export open, high, low, close, and volume – only the indicator we created. Note
also that we did not name the file dell.csv, which is the default. Note that we stored the files in the folder called "Some
folder".
4. Now create a DELL 5 minute chart.
5. Go to the Tools, "Data Sources" menu and select the "Directories/Files" tab. Use the "Add Directory" button to make the
folder called "Some folder" known to NeuroShell.
6. Go to the insert menu and insert "Other Instrument data". The text file you created will probably be in the category
"Miscellaneous Instruments" unless you chose another category when you added the directory called "Some folder". Select your
text file and the Avg 5 day indicator. Now your chart should look like the one below:
