  • Re: Expert edit window invisible/offscreen (RESOLVED)

    Thanks for your help, Justin.&nbsp; Alt-Space-M just resulted in the same error ''ding'' when in the Expert edit mode, so I was unable to see if I could try manually moving the invisible window back into view.&nbsp; Interestingly, attempting to edit a password-protected Expert would bring up the enter-password window as expected, then it would go ...

  • Expert edit window invisible/offscreen (RESOLVED)

    For some reason, I'm unable to view or use the Edit function with Expert Advisors.&nbsp; When I click Edit on any Expert (whether or not it's password-protected), the window dims and I'm unable to proceed.If I click the mouse, I get the Windows ''error'' ding sound.&nbsp; If I type on the keyboard and hit Enter, the main Expert window un-dims and ...

  • Re: a month past and no proper reply from equis ppl,

    That kind of screwup demands a FedEx overnight shipment to make it good, plus something else in addition for the hassles you've had, like an additional free plugin or something (I like the Elder and Bollinger products).I own a service business, and when we screw up, we make good immediately.&nbsp; If something goes wrong and we either don't make it

  • Re: Identify the First Highest High for the Day in Intraday Bars

    You might give this a try; I haven't personally tested it.&nbsp; By inputting a value for ''nth'' you should be able to specify the Nth highest-high, not just the first but whichever you wish.

  • Re: Did and should you pay for the MDK?

    Brandon, thanks for the pointer to the MDK info page; it's pretty informative.&nbsp; I'm not a potential developer, but very happy to see the info there for those who are.And FWIW, I like MetaStock 9.1 very much for what it is and think it's well worth what I paid for it, and for the few plugins I own.&nbsp; I just hate seeing it sit still ...

    Branden Russell: PTJim:they sure are jealous of that MDK, aren't they? We're not jealous of the MDK. I'm not even sure how to respond to that. We developed it. It does what it was designed to do.''Jealous'' was an unclear choice of word; that's why I changed it to ''protective''.&nbsp; And by that I meant Equis is treating the product as some ...

  • Re: Did and should you pay for the MDK?

    For a product as stagnant (almost two years since the last release, which itself was nothing but a Vista-compatibility bugfix) and obsolete (really?&nbsp; we still can't drag child windows outside the limited confines of the main window, nor take advantage of multiple monitors?) as MetaStock, they sure are protective of that MDK, aren't they?&nbsp;

  • Re: What Plug-Ins to Buy?

    I have purchased the John Murphy plugin, both Bollinger plugins and the Alex Elder plugin.&nbsp; I think all seem to work within the scope of their authors' approaches to the market, but if I had to do it again, or choose just one it would be Elder's far and away.Having read his books and understood what he's getting at, I use his plugin on my ...

  • Shared MS database on NAS (network attached storage)?

    I'm currently running MS 9.1 EOD on both my desktop and notebook and they both download data individually to local databases.Does anybody know if it's possible to move the MS data to a network-attached drive (not a full PC on the net, just a net-accessible storage system) and then access it from multiple MS copies (not simultaneously)?I don't have ...

    Hey Rob, just a quick followup.After receiving a private message from Jose, I should make it clear that when I mentioned I couldn't debug your code, I wasn't implying there were any bugs in Jose's MS coding.&nbsp; In fact, I missed the fact that it *was* his code at first - read your posting too fast and just missed that.&nbsp; Jose informs me he ...

    Amory, I agree with you to the extent that there are no ''magic'' formulas.&nbsp; While I regard some as just ridiculous hocus-pocus no better than casting chicken bones (Gann fans, Fibonnacci, Astrological cycles etc.), the rest are just tools.There are only so many ways you can manipulate OHLCV data, after all, but if you're going to do TA you ...

  • Re: Trying to create Elder's Impulse System indicator

    Sorry I can't help you with debugging the code, but FYI the Elder plugin package for Metastock does an excellent job of implementing all his indicators from the books (including a good job coloring impulse bars), plus a number of explorations adhering to his methods (including MACD Histogram Divergence, Triple Screen and Fallen Angels) and some ...

  • Re: Hello

    wabbit:One thing you will have to consider is that the internal functions of MetaStock are not available to be called from external functions, so any functionality you want has to be coded from scratch, so the learning curve is steep from the very start.That strikes me as quite odd . . . you too?
