Hello -

Whats the best way to export the periodic history of COMP(ROC(close,5),"percentile") for large groups of symbols. (daily or weekl data points)

i.e. 1000 symbols for 3 years.

I was trying to us the Export Indicator downloader but it doesn't seem to know comp() functions. I was trying the screener,and pivot table, but ultimately I'd like to access the data in a script for automated calculations and exporting to .txt

The Pivot table route seem to be limited by number of records.

Thanks very much,
AT

It would not work because "comp" is a special function.
The solution would be to use the script editor (Tools -> Script Editor) then use the following function to parse and get data (ParserTool.CreateParser("formula"))
