Wilty,
By creating the correct dir and copying it there it worked. Great work !
Does the widening of the indicator has any meaning ? Problem is I'm not so
in to three line breaks, you always have to wait till a move shows up. But
great work, this kind of shows the power of MSX. How difficult is it to
code in MSX for someone who knows ONLY a little VBA ?
And yes you are correct that this can not be done with the system tester,
but you could use the Explorer. I use it already now but it only registers
the last trade and enter at the open or close. Mr. De Bry made a similar
thing as add-on (check www.debry.com ) only it enters on the open but it
records all trades and gives some statistics and I need something similar
but where I could enter through a stop order and also a way to exit. You
could then copy it to excel and analyse it further. I'm trying to code
something similar in QP.
What Mr. Strubbe concerns, yes I know him, met him already on different
occasions (on fairs and lectures). Problem is, it is not my cup of thee.
Because he is more into options and I'm more of a Jeff Cooper & GBS kind of
a guy. And I'm much rather learn from the masters in the field like John
Murphy, Martin Pring and for candlesticks Steve Nison.
What is your style and are you Dutch ?
Greetings
Mickey
