WOW, thanks. But is this also for the EOD version, because I have no
\Metastock\external dir
Thanks
Mickey
PS are you planning on creating other things, because I've been looking for
a backrest on multiple securities. Which I do now with the explorer but it
is VERY primitive. A add in like this would give MS so much power, if it
somewhat advanced. like being enter and exit through stop orders and include
commissions and resister all trades from the date you want, and give enough
statistics of course.
