Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] Adding a certain number of days to a date.

Hello Roy,
     I first want to thank everyone who wrote back and their comments 
and suggestions.  I love groups like these.  What I am trying to do 
is create time windows off of the ROC highest and lowest value and 
project that onto the price chart.  The first set of time windows 
comes 49 - 52 days after the ROC highest or lowest value for the 
loaded data.  The second set is 90 - 98 days out and the third is 
120 - 135 days out.  And its only a horizontal line that connects the 
start day (49) and the end day (52).  I used to use metastock ver 
1.02 and I had a macro that did this automatically.  But the macros 
are gone in 6.52.  Now its code.  And I suck terrible at 
programming.  I didn't think it was complicated but I have been 
hitting wall after wall with trying to do this.  I'm doing it 
manually now by counting the days after the highest and lowest 
vlaues - but I'm trying to create my trading system & this is a big 
part of it.  Any other input would be greatly appreciated.

thanks for your time
bruni
