Hi,
I would like to attach a few indicators on a security and export their values in a txt or in csv file?
How to do it? Does some utilities exist for that?

You could "print" to a text file? Search this site for more info.

I have only found how to export the code of the indicators.
But that's not what I want. I want to export the value calculated by the indicator (Ex: MA20, Bollinger+ ...)

manually: drag&drop your indicator (line in the chart) into excel

OLE would also be a possiblity... but this very slow and I have never used it ... only tested one time..
there are also third party addons which enables you to save indicators as csv file... but i don't know such function in metastock...

I have seen in the internet that Masterdata has a plugin which enables you to load csv files - i don't know if this plugin also enables you to save the indicator as csv file. I have never tried this plugin because i considered to write such functinality with msx (devkit) by myself . But currently with a lot of problems of automatically converting ascii data to metastock data file format - I have decided not to use metastocks in an automatic way.

For an automatic way, what do you use then? AmiBroker? Tradestation?

no special software like the above mentioned
I will program it partly in c# and will also use some mathematical software for the calculations.
Metastock is very good with its charting possiblities - but for automation purpose i have found to much problems.
A lot of these problems are described in this forum since more than 5 years ago - and no new version of ms has been improved in this points/questions.
The technology of ms is older than 8 years (no dotnet or java compatibility, only ole, visualbasic 6.0, ...) this and different emails (discussions) with the technical support gave me the impression that the time is not worth to implement to much into an automation with ms.
(sry my english isn't as good as it should be)

Writing MS data to an external text file is easily achieved using the MDK.

I was written an email to msdevkit@equis.com to ask questions about MDK and to know how to buy it but I have no answer?
Who should I do mail? Who can I contact?

If you are familiar with c++ it would be no problem to develop such functionality.
The technical support response mostly after 1-2 days.
