Thanks Paul. Good to see this board takes piracy issues seriously. Regards, jose

alternative MetaStock support forums It seems that either t2w is not being moderated, or it's owners are not interested in preventing the spread of software theft through this board. I've reported this post months ago, but by their inaction t2w's owners are actually condoning software theft...

I've been told this many times - it's one area of personal development I aim to improve over time. I guess the only way to really find out, would be to come down to Koh Pha-Ngan (Thailand) sometime... ;) jose '-)

Ramona Bands Strategy (RBS) Mozillan, the Ramona Bands Strategy (RBS) is a parody on other black-box type systems for sale. It uses hindsight and is not meant to be traded. RBS Instructions (please read first!) RBS MetaStock setup file RBS Chart sample jose '-)

This problem occurs when the chart's loaded periods are different from the exploration's - make sure they are both the same. jose '-)

Ugkash, please don't waste too much time on the GMMA - use it only as a way to learn MetaStock programming. Think "journey", not "destination". jose '-)

Yes, contact Umit directly through his website, and he'll then give you a price on his very handy custom Security.dll (which he doesn't advertise). jose '-)

I believe that Umit at TraderHelp.net has a MetaStock DLL available which does just that. jose '-)

1) MetaStock -> Tools -> Expert Advisor -> New -> Highlights -> New -> Color Green: Cross(C,Ref(Mov(C,5,S),-1)) 2) Ok -> New -> Color Red: Cross(Ref(Mov(C,5,S),-1),C) 3) Ok -> Ok -> Attach -> Close. 4) Observe Green and Red coloured bars indicating original conditions. Not bad for a...

I don't get it either, Dovetree - you say that you've been using MetaStock for ten years, and yet still not able to use the very simple bar highlight function within the MetaStock chart Expert? Good luck with TS - you are definitely going to need it! jose '-)

There are two types of software developers: Type 1 charges $ for incremental updates, and renames versions to whole numbers to justify this; Type 2 makes all updates (and even upgrades) available free for life to clients. Type 2 software developers are very rare indeed. ;) jose '-)

In the MetaStock formula import files, change/rename any ..90.. number to ..80.. For example: MS90EXPT DTA -> MS80EXPT.DTA MS90EXPL DTA -> MS80EXPL.DTA MS90FORM DTA -> MS80FORM.DTA MS90PRFT DTA -> MS80PRFT.DTA jose '-) MetaStockTools.com

TradeSim is a great Australian product made & marketed by David Samborsky. It was made originally as a MetaStock addon, but now accepts AmiBroker and TradeStation trade signals. Spring is coming to Sydney - they expect a hot & dry summer here. We've had a scorching 45c (113F) on the first day...

Thanks, JDR. Personally, I implement position sizing through indicator formulae based on historical drawdown. There is no dedicated money management function in MetaStock, but it's easy enough (for me at least) to program it into a formula. MetaStock does not have what I would consider a...
