List,
Well I'm in the process of trying to move our Intermediate Term Signals into
MetaStock and need a little help.
First, here are a few of my assumptions I made after reviewing the latest
manual (v7.01).
1. Variables go away after each day (we're EOD traders, so daily is our time
frame).
2. The only way you can reference a prior day's value is by using PREV or by
plotting the indicator and using the "P" Data Array Identifier.
3. The only way to reference the previous 20 values of an indicator is by
using the "P" Data Array Identifier.
4. Plotting of indicators is irrelevant for our system, so I'm only
interested in a programming solution.
Questions:
1. Is there any way to build an array or list of variables that you can
programmatically control? For instance, I want to maintain the last 20
values of a specific indicator and keep them for use on the next day. At
then end of each days processing, I would move X17 to X18, thereby dropping
the previous X18. X16 to X17, etc., thereby getting ready for the next days
result, which I would store in X.
2. Is there any way that I can maintain multiple PREV values for an
indicator? What about PREV -1 and PREV -2?
In our Intermediate Term System, we have an indicator we calculate whereby
we maintain the last 18 results, always keeping the last 18 values available
to us for calculations. We use the first 6 for a short-term indicator, the
second six for an intermediate-term indicator and the final six for a
long-term indicator.
I'm trying to avoid having to do much additional programming outside of
MetaStock, if possible, so I would appreciate any assistance. Does anyone
know of an add-in that's available that would provide array or table
capabilities to MetaStock?
Thanks for any help.
