Post From: Savings charts to images for manual back testing

Hi,

I just have this idea which I have always wanted on other platforms I have used but never found anything even close to, but seeing as Sierra Charts is the best platform I have used and has so much functionality (I do not know about) I am wondering if I can so this or something similar.

For a long time, when I want to manually backtest, I have to select a range (based on dates, market regime or the presence of a setup) then painstakingly screenshot all the charts, save them, and then study them. Sometimes when I study these things I study hundreds of charts and it takes hours sometimes to manually screen capture and save all of these charts. So before I do any study there can be hours of prep just saving lots of images.

Does SC offer any functionality to make this process quicker? For example, can you save charts within a certain range (time or date) as images automatically? For example, if I could pick a certain date period and then save all the configured sessions automatically.

The closest thing I have found to this on the SC Support is this threat (Automate Chart Image Export) but I was not a particularly long thread and I am not sure it does exactly what I am asking.

I know about Edit > Screen Images - which is a step up in fuctionality on most platforms but I am wondering if it can be automated even further?

Thanks
