@Billy, if you hasn't prof. software which has these time frame converting functions built in, you can use a freeware tool of my website (suppport page) - Zen Time Frame Converter v2.5: www.zentrader.de - trading system development and technical analysis Still, a little bit of work you'll...

@RodrigoCohen, as I know there's no such possibility currently built in. There's only the possibility to use writeVal() to write a text message in the expert advisor commentary window or to create an alert. The standard MSFL scripting language has no "write to text file"-commands (it's a...

@midge25, the standard way you can go: 1. export Sharescope data to .csv (ASCII or text data format). Sharescope should have such a functionality... 2. import the data via Metastock Downloader (this is an included module in MS EOD and PRO) bye, zentrader

@Fran8, charting and scanning/screening (in MS it's the module Explorer) are imho also strong implemented in Metastock. If that are your main objectives, Metastock may be a good choice. But there are some parts Amibroker (and others) have surpassed Metastock in the last years: 1. the...

Metastock is a little bit easier to handle (specially for not so complicated tasks and formulas), but Amibroker is by far more powerful and has surely a better cost/benefit ratio (I use both!) Metastock is perhaps the technical anlysis/charting package with the most licenses sold worldwide...

...hmm. Metastock is a comercial software, which you have to buy/to license. Then you have a good documentation for this basic questions and can contact the MS support or forums: Equis International Online Community - Forums The current version is v11... :cool:

Hi rahul100, my proposal: 1. create an new expert 2. in the commentary tab of the expert write your indicator formula using writeVal() function 3. attach this expert to your indicator window I've attached two screenshots: a) the expert commentary - in your case (if you need only the value...

@mehul, yeah - many thanks! Sometimes the most simple solutions (OLE) are overseen... :-) bye, Volker

@Nicholas, you can rebuild the formulas/functions that you use in MS also in Excel manually (there's no automatic possibility), if you know the underlying algorithms. Alternatively you can write MS price data directly to Excel using this add-on tool: MetaLib: SDK for reading/writing MetaStock...

Sam, I've tried the formula in MS Explorer using the default securities and got a result (e.g. 4 securities have filled the criteria - column "Column..." = 1) - see attached gif-file. So I think you have to control step for step where your specific problem is... bye, zentrader

@Sam, imho the last formula is correct. But I suggest, that you should implement your project step for step: 1. first try the construct with a simple example (like Ref(Mov(C,2,S),-1)), so you can control immediately whether that's what you really want to do! 2. then try to test extending this...

@rahul, moving the mouse over the indicator graph you see all referencing indicator values (not only the last). If you you want to display such a value specially in a commentary window you have to write an Expert and use the built-in MSFL function writeVal(). bye, zentrader

@Mehul, you have the following basic possibilities: 1. MS Pro has a default DDE Server to communicate with Excel 2. This "third party" library supports also data transfer to Excel: MetaLib: SDK for reading/writing MetaStock security price data in VB, C#, Delphi, C++ 3. programming a MDK DLL...

@Bandit, here you can get free test data (FOREX) for Metatrader, Ninjatrader, Metastock and in generic ASCII: Forex Historical Data for Free Hope, it helps... bye, zentrader

@jb00013, there's an add-on called "Metalib" (ca. 60 Euros) which can write Metastock data read from Excel/VBA. Take a look: MetaLib: SDK for reading/writing MetaStock security price data in VB, C#, Delphi, C++ So you can automate your conversion jobs. bye zentrader
