To start with, the .scid files are binary files, unlike the .dly files.

In order to get the data in a text format, you would need to use one of two options:

- Edit >> Export Intraday Data to Text File:
Edit Menu: Edit >> Export Intraday Data to Text file

- Use the "Write Bar Data to File":
Write Bar Data to File

For the latter option, if you are wanting every trade, then you would need to setup the chart to be a 1 tick chart.
