ExportSymbolInfos

Please visit this channel on cTraderCopyOfficial to upload your or download community-provided CSV-exports. (Thanks to TomP for top notch hosting-services!)

This is a fork of https://ctrader.com/algos/cbots/show/3583 by CaptZ.

Export symbol infos of the broker, which cTrader Desktop is currently connected to,
to a CSV-file for further inspection in a spreadsheet or database. Share your CSV-files
with the community to help building a comprehensive database.

Installation

Click on “Allow”.

Parameters

• Export Path
  Enter a valid path where CSV-files will be saved to. If you leave this field empty USERPROFILE\Downloads will be used instead.
• CSV-Delimiter
  Delimiter used for CSV-files. Default is comma.
• Account is Shariah-Compliant
  Change to “Yes” if you have a swap-free aka islamic aka shariah-compliant account. Mostly you will leave this set to “No”.
• Introducing Broker (IB)
  When sharing CSV-files with the community it is important to flag your special trading conditions provided by an IB. Enter something unique like “provided by user@telegram-group”. Entering “Yes” or “No” won't help much. If unsure check in your brokers' customer-panel, ask broker-support if you have an IB or just leave empty.

Running

If all went well you will see “Job Done”. Repeat for every broker you have cTrader-accounts with.
