Importing, Exporting and Sharing Studies

You can export studies and later import them into another TeleTrader WorkStation installation. This way, you can share your studies with other TeleTrader WorkStation users.

If you have created your own study, you might have invested a lot of time and research into writing the source code of this study. Perhaps you want to let others use the study that you created, but you do not want to let everyone see (or edit) the source code of your study. To prevent others from accessing the source code of your study, you have two possibilities:

▫       You can restrict the use of the study to certain TeleTrader WorkStation users and additionally set a time limit. The chosen user can use the study for the time that you specify during export, but cannot see its source code.

▫       You can protect it with a password. Everyone who does not know the password can still use the study in a chart or price page and change its parameter values or appearance, but will be prompted to enter the password if he tries to access the source code.

You can also send a study per e-mail to other TeleTrader WorkStation users from within the program. When sending e-mails from within TeleTrader WorkStation, you have to use your default e-mail client. To activate the default e-mail client in TeleTrader WorkStation, use the menu command File > Send E-mail > Use Default E-Mail Client. For details on sending e-mails with TeleTrader WorkStation, see Sending Workspaces, Virtual Pages or Documents via E-Mail.
