A separate application (ms2om.exe) is used for data export to TradeStation. The application starts when the button "Export to Omega" ( ) is pressed. If the automatic mode is selected, the application starts to work immediately.

- From directory. The folder with MetaStock archive to be converted to OMZ files.
- Output directory. The folder where converted files will be stored.
- Date range, from
- To Data range to export. The range is determined automatically if data was exported before. If this is the first time, default is three last months.
- Process selected securities. Process only those instruments which are selected in the IDLe. Otherwise all available in the folder items are processed.
- Create archives. Remove the checkmark if import into TradeStation only is desired.
- Smart import. Import to Global Server.
- Delete data. Delete old data for the selected period for all instruments. If data is not deleted, the new bars will overlap the old. All symbols for this period are deleted. If you want to keep some data, uncheck the option and delete manually.
The export application can be launched independently from IDLe. The command line parameters are the following:
- /g - start export immediately after launch.
- /x - exit when done.
- /f:<date> - date "from" in the format yyyymmdd or yymmdd.
- /t:<date> - date "to" in the same format
- /m – get MetaStock path from IDLe.
- /m:<path> - path to MetaStock. The path could be quoted in double quotes (").
- /o:<path> - path to OMZ files. The path could be quoted in double quotes ("). If this option is present it has to come before /f and /t options.
- /a:<y/n> - create archive (y), import only (n).
- /i:<y/n> - import to GlobalServer (y). If import if turned off, it also turns off data removal.
- /d:<y/n> - delete data (y). When import is turnded off, this option is ignored..
- /s:<y/n> - export all (y) or only active (n) instruments.
