How can I use command lines to do the following?

1. Open a watchlist
2. Export the wathlist data into csv file
3. Close the watch list.

I can use "WatchList.exe test.wat" to open a watchlist of "test", but that is all I can do so far. How to export the data and close the watchlist?

Thanks,

The DTN.IQ application doesn't have scriptable/command line functionas available. You would need to us a windows macro utility if you wanted to script the functions you mention.

There are several macro utilities available via the internet if you do a search, many have free demos for you to try them out and see if they meet your needs.

Can you give me a link? Is it based on DDE spreadsheet ? How can I get my spreadsheet to list 1300 symbols? Now I can only list 500 symbols...thanks!

I have not used many of these personally, but this one seems to include the features you would need and it has a free trial to test that functionality.

As far as the spreadsheet symbol count, 500 is the max available with a standard IQfeed, I believe sales can upgrade this to a DTNIQ account that would allow 1300 symbols. You may contact sales at 1-800-475-4755 and they should be able to give more complete data on this including pricing.
