Post From: Formatted Alerts to Text or Excel Live would be Useful

I've studied Alerts Log output,& see only copy selection to Clipboard and Email, SMS output. I can't find a disk output log file. Alert data (trigger point, alert formula result, symbol, alert name) could be very useful for building a composite visual (chart, graph). "Pipelining" alerts "as is" would be OK, but delimited would be better for non-programmers to not have to parse text. Would it be difficult to add an Option to write Alerts to a Text File or Add to an Excel file in a delimited format-- possibly allowing a Header Format Layout, to add 3 or 4 more fields (by Excel or other Lookup of Alert), such as Alert Code, Symbol, weight, etc.? Ideally, we could then do a lookup in Excel Tables for the Symbol and Alert, to compute a Value result for each alert to keep short period sums. Later integrating "Alert Summation Studies" into SC would make it even better. |
