Apologies if you saw this post elsewhere..Can anyone point me to the API that will load the data from WL file ? I recall something like LoadFromFile() or something ?

Thank you!

Sure, look up LoadFromFile in the QuickRef (hit F11).

I have a dumb question..Can anyone point me to how to read the *.WL file from a c/c++ program ? My post processing engine is written in C and I am trying to find an easy way to read the *.WL file without having to open the WealthLab for postprocess. Appreciate any pointers..

Thank you

BTW the LoadFromFile does work! I am able to get the data if I create a new strategy etc..But to find a real strategy, I need to post process with my C code and first find the profitable one :)

Sorry, the *.WL format in WL5 isn't disclosed by Fidelity.

Eugene - I don't need to know the format. Basically, is there a way to use the libraries/dlls etc from WealthLab and use the existing APIs in a C code ?

I don't know that, never been a C programmer.
