Hi, Supposed I have the equity curve in a daily chart and has already identify the MaxDD, I would like to code the above. Anyone has tried to code the above ratios....  Could you help me in coding them? MAR Ratio= CAGR / MaxDD Regards, SA

*PP: Spaceant: ....  The key reason is that when MS is connected to a third party software to conduct automated trading, only the one signal is required, i.e the first signal. Gary if you tell me what you have in mind i may be able to help. There are a few posibilities to automate trade from within metastock with several broker ...

*PP: Hi Gary, From what i know thers no solution to this, maybe a new and improved metastock version. *PP Paul, Take a look at this link in which Wabbit has a comment on this using a counter to detect a new bar and count the signals. http://forum.equis.com/forums/thread/26728.aspx Well, this is one of the areas that Equis should ...

Hi Pyradius, Ooups..... my statment is wrong!  Your PREV Latch is same as FORUM Latch.. SA 

Hi Pyradius, You may have misunstood what I mean.  You codes are PREV based latches that will omit the repetitve buy or sell signals before buy exit or sell exit signals are given.  These repetitive signals are located in the soming bars before the exit signals given.  Actually, I have used Forum Latch to suppress the upcoming ...

Hi all MS users, Is there any DLL or tool that can be used to suppressed the second and repetitive signals of the intrabar signals, when I turn on the live expert? As I have developed a system which is based on a kind of breakout strategy, the logic is to get the first breakout signal and I want to suppress the repetitive ones before the bar is ...

Hi, I have been spending some time exploring for an effecive (if there is not a ''most effective'' one) stop.  Chandelier Exit appears to be good, but the true version needs a bundle of PREVs which slow down  its efficiency in using and it is time-consuming to test too.  Richard Dale's Advanced Trailing Stop is very using and ...

Hi Wabbit, Thanks for your reply, but I am unable to write an external dll.  Is there anything that I can used, that is available, in the forum now? Before having a custom solution with an external dll, I would like to test the stop ideas to see the performance.  Therefore, it would be a next step to me. It is possible to some ...

wabbit:A lot of people have troubles with real time charts having alerts generated on the individual ticks that are compiled together to form the last bar.  Again, using a .dll there are a couple of ways to deal with the last bar:count the number of times a signal has been generated on the last bar, if an alert has been already been made on ...

Hi Wabbit, I am glad that you have been playing around with this idea.  Well, I think this idea is not new, and in fact, is quite generic, like the exit criteria as set in Rickey Cheung's book, The Trading Edge - How to Trade Like a Winner.  He used the TradeStation language to write the formula for testing.  Well, I am quite ...

wabbit: It would be a massive job to export all 2000 individually... I share your feeling, it may take hours to import / export indicators / experts / ESTs / explorers.  Sometimes, MS may not be able to recognise the indicator correctly when the indicators' name are simliar.  I have not done a scientific research, but it appears to me ...

Wabbit, Do you mean the way to tackle it is to use the PREV based latches?  To my knowloedge, the FORUM DLL will force to a short position when a short sell signal is issued after a long position has been taken despite the fact that a sell signal is not yet issued. SA      

Hi,   I need to have a protective trailing stop (not sure if I use the right word or not!), that moves to protect profit as price move favorably. The logic follows similar to Richard's ATS, but I have checked with him who confirmed that it is not possible to code the stop that I want.   Say for Long, with price is higher ...
