<br>Joseph, Al, Guy,
<p>Thanks for your responses. I feel warmer now (egoistic, isn't it?) knowing
the God didn't single only me out to punish for some (TA?) sins.
Since there is no problem with accuracy when working with fractions in
Data Window, and when opened in Downloader data shows all right, it seems
just a sloppily done conversion job to decimals in MS 6.52.
<p>By the way, those who installed MS 7.0, what do you get for decimals
in Data Window?
<p>Equis, do you mind fixing it? To give you one more example, on 11/03/99
for AU Data Window shows
<br>O 27.38
<br>H 28.00
<br>L 27.31
<br>C 27.56
<p>while in Downloader
<br>O 27.3750
<br>H 28.0000
<br>L 27.3125
<br>C 27.5625
<p>Changing to fractions in Downloader (1/32) produces absolutely correct
values in Data Window:
<br>O 27 12/32
<br>H 28
<br>L 27 10/32
<br>C 27 18/32
<p>I guess an Equis programmer who was the last to visit those lines of
codes for Data Window, inadvertently dropped a random number generator
which rolled someplace under lines of decimal conversion and was left unnoticed
:-) .
<p>Cheers, Vitaly

<p>I'll go you one better. Depending on the day, MS rounds my indicators
to
<br>various decimal positions. For one indicator, I might have 5
decimals on
<br>one day, the next day will find it rounded to 2 decimals, the next
day 4
<br>decimals, etc. No rhyme or reason that I can discern.

<br> Hi,
<p>I guess I'm becoming a nuisance with my problem. Forgive me. Yet, is
there a single live soul among MS
<br>6.52 users (Equis support staffers including <g>) who has never
got rounded prices in Data Window? Like
<br>$10.38 instead of $10.375, or 9.13 for 9.125.
<p>Thanks, Vitaly

I concur. Learning to program is a complicated process. I don't
want to put a damper on the celebrations here, but becoming proficient
at programming could take up to a year. That is, of course, if you
were to spend at least 2 hours a day on VB. It's hard enough to learn
how to program in VBA, now we are expected to program in full VB?
I think not. Maybe when I'm not full-time trading, not system testing,
not learning new TA methods, not learning Elliot Wave...
<p>Fact is, the average full-time trader wants to make money, not learn
how to program VB. I think a more efficient route would be for Equis
to create a program similar to RadarScreen to track large numbers of stocks
in realtime. I have been tracking a (much smaller) group of stocks
delayed and this is definitely a way to spot moving stocks during the day.
<p>Just my 2¢,
<br>Daniel.

Don,
Your exactly right...it would have been useless without two way
communication.
I was glad to see the answer Equis gave. MetaStock will truly become a
powerful
program with this ability and should not be hindered with "language"
limitations
anymore.
What are your plans for writing code? I have "Visual Studio 6.0", but I
currently
can only code in "basic". "Visual C++" seems to have a steep learning curve,
so I
may just break down and buy the "Power Basic" 32 bit version found at this
site:

Later,
Adam
