Laser Question

[aristo1010]

Hi, I have been testing out Laser with their demo and I am wondering if there is a way to export data into excel. What I would like to do is export my positions I get into with Laser and then export it into excel so I can track over the day.
I know I can link Laser to excel but I can't get it to update my positions automatically. Does anyone know of a way I can do this maually. Thanks.

you can do this with tradelink and the genesis api.

public class MyResponse : ResponseTemplate
{
  override void Reset()
 {
      // at startup open trade file
      System.IO.StreamWriter sw = new System.IO.StreamWriter("mytrades.csv");
      sw.AutoFlush = true;
 }
  override void GotFill(Fill f)
 {
    // convert fill to CSV format so readable in excel
    string csv = string.join(",",Util.Trade(f));
    // write to file
    sw.WriteLine(csv);
        
} 
}

tradelink is free and open source

you can just go... file >> Print Summary
and then if you want your trades go to File >> Print trades. Save it into a notepad, and then open it up in excel
