    Think or Swim gets it, then organizes the data into charts for me.

    I want get an Excel spreadsheet of High/Low/Close data for, let's say, the Wheat contracts of 2009. How can I do this?

    I am a newb to programming for Futures. If the above problem is my goal, how can I achieve it? Perhaps programming is unnecessary.

    P.S. I am not sure where or how to get the data in the first place. This may be a complex problem, so I am posting it in several Subreddits/Forums. Any insight anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards,
    Sparrow

    As i have read your Message seems that i have not understand
    a Major Thing.

    The Major thing is,

    which is your Data Provider for to get first the Wheat 2009 Data ?

    If i suppose that is Reuters DataLink:

    http://www.equis.com/products/endofday/reutersdatalink/?overview ,

    and you use Metastock,

    then you must go to the Downloader and to start to download first,

    Wheat Data for 2009.

    I believe that still exist in their Databases.

    Then you must use the Function: Convert of the Downloader and to transfer these Data's to Excel.

    Then to make your Work there.

    Kind Regards,

    Hello Again.

    I have an Account there too but i do not trade with it,

    so active.

    From time to time ThinkOrSwim upgrade their Software with New Functionalities.

    I do not know honesty,

    if you can take that kind of Data that you want from there.

    But i know that have friendly Online Support,

    so,

    you can contact with them and to ask for your Issue.

    For further Help to your Issue,

    i know that exist 2 other Companies that you can buy that kind of Historical Data.

    One is the: TickData: http://www.tickdata.com/ ,

    and the other is the:

    CQG Data Factory: https://www.cqgdatafactory.com/ .

    By the Way,

    honesty,

    i do not know from where you can take that Data without to pay nothing.

    A Solution to that Issue,

    is to provide that Service your Broker/s to you.

    In that Case you must contact except of ThinkOrSwim and with the other Broker/s that you possibly have.

    Kind Regards,

    George Kanellopoulos.
