  • Re: Layout - Saving line studies/text behaviour

    You might be able to use Window--&gt;New Window after clicking on the chart in question.&nbsp; This should make an exact copy of that chart which you could then add into another layout via File--&gt;Edit Layout.Not to say that there aren't some good suggestions there; being able to selectively control which parts of a layout/template get ...

  • Re: The following runtime errors were encountered while executing the Buy Signal formula:11 Divide By Zero Errors.

    You could try plotting the piece of the formula that is after the division sign and add = 0 on the end:Sum(HHV(RSI(10),10)-LLV(RSI(10),10),3)*100 = 0Plot that as an indicator in your chart and you might be able to see where the value is hitting 0.

  • Re: Problem with system tester

    It's possible you are simply not entering any trades (the Orders tab should provide more insight, assuming you did not run a Quick Test).&nbsp; This could be due to your Default Trade Size settings.&nbsp; For example, the default being Number of Units - 100 could prevent any trades if the security price was high enough, combined with the Initial ...

    The Explorer cannot auto-scan, although I suppose with a savvy enough macro'ing application it might be possible to try and set this up.&nbsp; That said, intraday scans are possible but can be slow to complete.&nbsp; The Explorer does have a fairly sensitive timeout period before moving on to the next symbol.&nbsp; If it takes too long to collect ...

    I wouldn't think the IP Address would matter; I would think something more along the lines of a proxy / firewall.&nbsp; The manual method was improved in version 11 over the Phone/Email method in version 10 (you can now manually deactivate without us needing to free up the license), but it is of course still more steps involved than the Internet ...

  • Re: Transfering Metastock to new computer

    It would be nice to see a little more control of working folders for various items.&nbsp; Currently you can install MetaStock to drives other than the boot drive, but there are some items (such as the Broad Market Indicators/Data) that are somewhat hard-coded to be on a specific drive.&nbsp; Some files (such as Formula Files) can have their path ...

  • Re: License Manager Internet activate / de-activate problem

    If the license was in fact successfully deactivated, you might be getting that message erroneously.&nbsp; Sometimes you can see the ''Already Used'' message if the activation is being blocked by a firewall/security software of some kind.

    It is possible that MSWIN.EXE is damaged and would need to be reinstalled.&nbsp; You can also try launching in offline mode to see if that helps.&nbsp; You should not lose any of your customer formulas by reinstalling, however.

  • Re: MS11 - Simulation

    The system tester can be done on intraday (although it is slower doing this than locally stored Daily data), however it is not truly real-time.&nbsp; The closest thing to something like that is our Expert Advisor, which provides buy/sell signals and other information as the chart updates.&nbsp; It does not track equity gains/losses like the system ...

    The plug-in installation was likely coincidental.&nbsp; We have seen the ASTSRV.EXE get deleted from the C:\Windows\System32 folder, but we're not sure why.&nbsp; It doesn't make a lot of sense that a file can be fully installed and working in Windows, then suddenly deletes itself from the System32 folder.That being said, reinstallation of ...

  • Re: Unknown Error # :-83

    Well I can't say what happened to your PC, but our AST Service does have some dependency services (of Microsoft) that need to be running. I wasn't aware of RPC myself, but that's likely because this service should be running on most/all PC's. Which version of Windows are you currently using? You can find this by right-clicking on My Computer and

  • Re: Metastock 11 error message

    The error is caused by something in the eSignal software. What exactly we're not sure, but it appears to be something of a timing issue. This is something that broke around eSignal 8 (eSignal is up to 10.5 I think now). However, you basically just need to click Ok a couple of times and the Equis Data Server and eSignal Data Manager should ...

    There should be a shortcut for the MetaStock File Server in the ''Startup'' program folder of Windows.&nbsp; Usually this is under:Start--&gt;All Programs--&gt;StartuporStart--&gt;All Programs--&gt;Accessories--&gt;StartupYou should be able to right click on the shortcut and choose Delete to remove it from this startup area.

  • Re: Auto Tile

    It is a little bit difficult to see (especially with certain Windows themes), but it does put an almost imperceptible border around the Auto tile option in the Window menu when it's enabled. I'm thinking that going forward, using something like checkmarks to the right of the option will be much easier to see.
