Sean,
First of all, the security function does not have additional parameters
to specify period of interest, so it basically takes whatever data that
is available and plot it on to the base security. However, I have
simulated a gap of data range of 1 year period for easy identification
during my test, the tag security is plotted onto the base security but an
eyeball check, one can tell that there is a missing range of data. In
fact, you don't need to pad missing data at all, MS will do it all for
you.
I hope I am correct to day that you can't use TAG security to provide
trade signal, trading signals still comes from your base security. The
TAG is on a reference plot. The output of the expert advisor with any
indicator further confirmed that trading signals has nothing to do with
the tag. Hope that clears the cloud.
BTW, what are you trying to achieve with the security function
?
Best Regards
Freddie Ng

Hi Freddie,
Thanks very much for trying this.
It may have helped if I had explained a bit more up front.
Here goes:
I need you to try a gap in the middle, not at the beginning.
The problem with the Metastock/MS Dev Kit is that you can only return
one range of periods with each function call.
E.g. you can return data for 02132002 - 05132003 BUT you cannot
return data for 02132002-05132003 & 05152003 in one call (we have a
gap). I have to populate that missing day with something if I want
to provide data either side of that date and the base security has
data for that day.
So my question is what does the Security function do in situations
where there is no data available in the middle. Hence why I choose
TAG and 05092001 as it's a trading day but for some reason that date
has no data.
Did that make more sense?
Thanks very much,
Sean
