FingerprintCaptureScript

FingerprintCaptureScript

This script creates a pattern “fingerprint” CSV from chart window by exporting the OHLC values of candles between two vertical lines.

• Reads exactly two vertical line objects (VLINE) on the current chart
• Uses them as start/end markers of the candle range
• Exports the selected candles to a semicolon-separated CSV file in:

Terminal → Common → Files

1. Open any chart and timeframe with the pattern visible in history.
2. Place two vertical lines on the chart to mark the start and end of the desired pattern window.
3. Run the script.
4. Find the saved file in Terminal → Common → Files.

⚠️  Important: You must place exactly two vertical lines before running the script, otherwise it will stop with an error.

• One candle per row:  Open;High;Low;Close
• Values are written with 5 decimals
• Export order is oldest → newest (chronological)

Example: 100.00000;101.00000;99.70000;100.80000 100.80000;100.90000;99.20000;99.50000

This script is meant to generate fingerprint template CSV files for use with the utility EA:

Fingerprint Pattern Recognition (MQL5 Market)

The EA’s match results are intended to be reviewed and analyzed in the Patternica Desktop App (see the website listed in my Seller profile).

• InpFileName — Output CSV filename (saved to Terminal/Common/Files)
• InpLineColor — Marker color (informational only; the script detects vertical lines on the chart)
