title: How to export specific price and volume data from the LMAX level 2 widget to excel
body: <p><strong>Background -</strong>
  I am not  a programmer. 
  I do trade spot forex on an intraday basis.
  I am willing to learn programming</p>
  
  <p><strong>Specific Query -</strong> 
  I would like to know how to export into <kbd>Excel</kbd> in real time 'top of book' price and volume data as displayed on the LMAX level 2 widget/frame on - 
  <a href="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/lmax-widget/website-widget-quote-prof-flex.html?a=rTWcS34L5WRQkHtC" rel="nofollow">https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/lmax-widget/website-widget-quote-prof-flex.html?a=rTWcS34L5WRQkHtC</a></p>
  
  <p>In essence I am looking to export</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>price and volume data where the coloured flashes occur.</li>
  <li>price and volume data for when the coloured flashes do not occur.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I understand that 1) and 2) will encompass all the top of book prices and volume. However i would like to keep 1) and 2) separate/distinguished as far as data collection is concerned.</p>
  
  <p>Time period for which the collected data intends to be stored  -> 2-3 hours.</p>
  
  <p><strong>What kind of languages do I need to know to do the above?</strong>
  I understand that I need to be an advanced excel user too.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Long term goals -</strong>
  I intend to use the above information to make discretionary intraday trading decisions.
  In the long run I will get more involved with creating an algo or indicator to help with the decision making process, which would include the information above.</p>
  
  <p>I have understood that one needs to know coding to get involved in activities such as the above. Hence I have started learning C ++. More so to get a hang/feel for coding.
  I have been searching all over the web as to where to start in this endeavor. However I am quite confused and overwhelmed with all the information.
  Hence apart from the specific data export query, any additional guidelines would also be helpful.</p>
  
  <p>As of now I use <kbd>MT4</kbd> to trade. Hence I  believe to do the above  -  I will need more than just MT4.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be highly appreciated.</p>
