If I have several TradeStation ELD files and would like to read them as a plain text file, is this possible? Clearly I am not a TS user.

Online there were several open source programs that I cam across that made a conversion of ELD to text file, but most of them were dead ends.

An old post on the board mentioned using a MultiCharts trial and supposedly they have an editor that allows you to see TS code...I am not sure if this is a viable option.

Is there any recommendations on how to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

BTR411,

you won't get the source code by opening the file with a text editor, that's why you'd need to use a program capable of understanding EasyLanguage. Besides Tradestation, using Multicharts might work for you.
