Reading data from think or swim

[brucelevy]

Is it possible to have an indicator read output data from an indicator within TOS?

All my internet searching has only revealed something about having ToS->Excel type thing and go from there.

I never got past initial research.

Ah yes that's right there is an option for exporting data to excel out of TOS.

Now to figure out how to get an indicator to read that data with NT.

Perhaps there is a way to have that data being exported out of TOS into excel, on a continuous basis. Then when you start up NT and load your indicator it can pull from the remote host the data you need without having to run TOS, Excel AND NT on your local machine.

Perhaps Amazon AWS can be used in this case?

Just a thought..has anyone explored this further? I would like to pull option IV rankings out of TOS.
