Copy, add, export.

  1. Close Sierra Chart, then copy OFR_Tools_64.dll into the Sierra Chart Data folder (usually C:\SierraChart\Data).
  2. Restart Sierra Chart. On any chart, open Analysis > Studies > Add Custom Study and add OFR Study Inputs Exporter (Free). It draws nothing on the chart.
  3. Open its settings, set Export now to Yes and click OK. One exporter covers the whole chartbook.
  4. The file path appears on the chart and in Window > Message Log. By default the file goes to the Data folder, named study_inputs_<chartbook>_<date>_<time>.csv.
