I recently purchased, and am evaluating, Metastock 8. I have never used Metastock before, but have some older technical analysis software.
I have two related questions today:
1) Any Exploration I create, according to the manual, will accept assigned variables. I have an exploration which uses a MA in columns A-C, and in the filter. I want to be able to easily change the period for the MA, so in Column A I placed Period:=28; on the first line, and mov(c,Period,E) on the second.
I then went to each of the other columns and replaced the appropriate number with the word Period.
But it doesn't work. I get an error message. Do I have to place the statement Period:=28; in EACH column that will be affected, and then go set the figure individually in each column before I run, or??
2) When I run an "equivalent" to Explore in my old Windows on Wallstreet (where I also defined the Period as a variable), as soon as I selected "Run", a screen would pop up asking what Period I wanted to use. Is there such a screen in Metastock? It appears that if I want to run an Explore with an assigned variable, that I must remember that one exists, Edit that specific exploration, and change the assigned variable inside the exploration.
Any help would be appreciated.
