Hi Lionel
"... Does the combination of XL and MSFL provide the equivalent of a
programming language? ..."
I had never thought about importing from Metastock to XL, programming in VBA
or VB and then returning the output to Metastock for charting or system
testing etc. i.e., effectively using VBA or VB as a programming language.
Once it gets to Excel then I usually keep it there. Most of the workbooks
and VB programs that I have seen also leave it there.
Hope that I answered your question?
The workbook was the first that I had seen that had a "MSFL" module along
with the standard modules: trading systems, indicators, statistics, money
management, etc.
Best regards
Walter
