Theo,

Although my work has been generally well accepted, there HAVE been some
occasions when I wondered if the users did actually notice what I had
posted! Therefore your compliments are HIGHLY APPRECIATED AND OF COURSE
QUITE ENCOURAGING, especially since they are expressed by a not easily
satisfied and often critical user :-)
So, thank you for your comments and interest. I hope my work will help your
own analytical work and your trading.
If you don't mind please explain the parameters 0,1,1. What are you
referring to?

Spyros

Spyros :

Thanks again, and again a lot !

I have tried your SR ZigZag Trend (SR ZZT) v.4}
and teste different parameters : 0,1,1  works really great
and is a major enhancement to the things i use.
I am not easy satisfied and very critical but if it is
great i am the first to say so : Spyros this is really good
work !

Thanks

Theo Lockefeer

Hi Nicolas,

I did two scans, one with F-prot-DOS and one on-line scan with Symantec.
They both did not recognize it as a (possible) virus.
My Zonealarm firewall did not quarantine this e-mail-attachement either.

Suspicious as I am I did not dare to open the attachement.

How did you find out it was a virus ?
As it is a .txt file I guess it's a Macro-virus ?
What is the name of this virus ?

Rgds.

Most often deleting the corrupted Smart Chart will do the trick. Since there
is probably no way of knowing which chart(s) is/are corrupted it may pay to
delete them all (contents of all MSSMART folders). If you know which chart
was last open before the failure then just deleting the group it's in may be
all that's needed.

Smart Charts will be rebuilt automatically from your default template so you
would only lose little unless you have done extensive changes to charts.

I don't remember the details, but I think that tech support told me how to
do this.
Look at your data folders you may be able to see that one or more are
defective. I might have had to delete my data folders and rebuild them.  It
was a while back.
