I have similar requirement of reading my own data , but is not just one filed,
it is set of fields ( about 10 ) . These fields can not be produced with in AB
and these values are for daily DATA.
Basically this is another indicator valued created in different trading
software , I need to read as fileread fopen() etc.. and draw as indicator in
AB.
I am not sure exactly where to read these values? is it before the
_SECTION_BEGIN("IND2") and assign it to variable etc..
any help is appreciated.
