I
thought that my first email gave examples, but I will expand on them
here.
<SPAN

The
following are typical examples of code that might appear in the "buy", "sell",
"short" and "cover" statements:
<SPAN
class=523575222-01032003>
<SPAN
class=523575222-01032003>AvgVolume := mov(volume,20,s);
<SPAN
class=523575222-01032003>TotalRange := hhv(high,20) -
llv(low,20);
myATR
:= ATR(20);
<SPAN
class=523575222-01032003>
I
might have six or seven statements like those above.
<SPAN
class=523575222-01032003>
Then,
my "buy" statement might say something like:
<SPAN
class=523575222-01032003>
Close
> 1 and AvgVolume > 20000 and TotalRange > myATR *
2.
<SPAN
class=523575222-01032003>
My
"sell" statement might say something like:
<SPAN
class=523575222-01032003>
Close
> 6 and AvgVolume > 30000 and TotalRange > myATR *
2.5
<SPAN
class=523575222-01032003>
I
would like to be able do some calculations (AvgVolume, TotalRange, etc.)
only once. Or, as I questioned in my first email on the subject, is
MetaStock smart enough to know that the calculation has already been done
once?

Group] How to prevent re-calculating values?Like a lot of MetaStock
programmers, I tend to calculate several values ineach of my
buy/sell/short/cover scenarios. Most of these calculations arethe
same. For instance, I may need a 20-day moving average of volume
ineach statement. Or I may calculate the total range (max high
minus minlow) over 20 days, etc.My concern is the amount of time
wasted to recalculate these things fourtimes. This is not a new
concern. It is one that I have had since 1986 andprobably two
million optimizations have gone under the bridge since then.In
TradeStation, I am able to ensure that such calculations are done
onlyonce. After 17 years of using MetaStock, I still don't
know a way to do itin MS. Perhaps MS is smart enough to know
that it has already calculatedthe 20-day moving average of volume and
won't do it again?Any insights on this problem/opportunity would be
appreciated. I don't wantto wait another 17 years to find out that I
could have saved thousands ofhours of CPU
time.CheersYahoo! Groups
