He has other DLLs in the directory which MS can see just fine.  He has just loaded the DLL with Dependancy Walker and has sent me the report, I am about to have a look at it.   Cheers Stew

We are both using XP

I sent my friend a copy of MSXTest to see if that could load it, it gets the following error DLL Name BBTT.dll <- my dll   ISystem error loading DLL:      This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorr...   You cannot get what comes after incorr...   I haven't ...

The DLL works fine in MSXTester and my version of MS. Cheers Stew

He has restarted MS.  I gave a copy to another person sometime ago and they had the same problem.  Any other ideas? Cheers Stew

Hi all I have written an MSX dll in c++, it all works fine on my machine.  I have tried to give a friend a copy using the self installing exe option, it doesn't seem to work.  It copies all the indicators etc but not the dll.  Placing a copy of the DLL manually in ''External Function DLLS'' doesn't work either, MS doesn't seem ...

I may not have made myself clear in the first post.  The order would have been   Buy 1 XYZ at 1000 on stop limit.  Good For Day   On that day XYZ trades at a high of 1000, I should be filled.  Metastock does not take the trade.  If the high is 1001 I get filled.  I think this is a bug, if it is by design I ...

If I use Good Until Cancelled it fires the next day as prices trade higher.  Even if this fixed the problem it is not what I want, this affects a lot of other trades as well.  I think this is a bug in Metastock, the trade should of happened.  Can Equis confirm if this is a known problem?   Cheers Stew

Good for day only

I have changed the Order Type to Stop Limit, the formula is Ref(H, -1) + 0.0001, its yesterdays hight + 1 pip (FX Futures) the high for the day of ''Entry'' is yesterdays high + 0.0001.  If I manualy edit the data and add 0.0001 to it i.e. its high is 0.0001 higher then my entry price the order is filled at my Stop Limit price.

Hi I cannot get the EST to go long on a stop limit that is equal to the days high.  It places the order but it expires.  Does anyone know why?  I assume it doesn't work for shorts on the low either. Cheers Stewart

I think thats what I am doing.  I have Order Type set to Stop Limit with the followin formular for the price, ref(o, +1) + ATR(1) * 0.5, Strategic Delay (Bars) is set to 1 day.  I want to but at the open plus half of yesterdays range, but it is buying at the open price. Cheers Stew

Hi I am using the Strategic Delay of the Buy Order in the EST to allow for entry and exit on the same bar.  Doing so is causing the entry to be on the open, I want to use a Stop Limit value for the order.  How do I do this? Cheers Stew

Thanks Wabbit Is there any documentation on this database?  I opened it in Access but cannot find the individual trade results. Cheers Stew

Hi Is it possible to export the individual trades from an EST to excel so that they take 1 row each.  It would then be easy to perform calculations on the results, like caculating the expectancy and standard deviation of results and a whole host of other usfull information. Cheers Stew

Thanks for the fast reply, where do I get gv.dll from? Thanks   Stew

Hi Is it possible to pass paramaters using fml and if not is there some other way.  I want to be able to use a custom indicator in a system test but I want to be able to pass the indicator a value. Cheers Stew

Fixed it.  I needed to specify the .def file as a linker option.

Hi I am having trouble writing an MSX dll in visual c++ 2008 express.  It compiles fine and I have added the .def file but when I test it in MSXTester it says that my dll is not a MSX Dll ''Assumed Non-MSX Dll (missing required exports)''.  Is there more to the .def file then simply adding it to your project? Thanks Stewart
