Stratagem

Tips & Tricks

Exporting data can be very useful when analyzing a currency pair in order to devise a trading strategy, but most packages that offer this feature are premium charts. Strategem allows you to export historical data free of charge.

Here's how you can do it.

You can copy and paste the data from Strategem charts into Excel. Just go to File-New Table and a window will pop up with the tabular data of the chart you are viewing.
Right-click once inside this window, and a popup menu appears.
On this menu, Left-click on Select All to highlight all the data, then click Copy. At this point you can paste the data to an open excel spreadsheet.
If you want only part of the data moved, you can select the data in the window by clicking and dragging your mouse over the data you would like to copy. Right-Click and select Copy. Then paste data into an excel spreadsheet.

Risk Warning: Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
