Roy,
Just the chapter title list is making my mouth a-water and my hands
a-twitter! When are you coming out with the book? Hope you won't delay it
too long - just keep in mind that someone else (heck, maybe even Equis?) may
be working on something similar and if they publish it first, thay may take
away a large portion of the potential market. Certainly, the bulk of
Metastock users probably don't subscribe to this board and may not have
heard your name and would rush to buy the first such "tips & tricks" book
that comes out and would probably not buy a 2nd similar book.
Just my 2 cents of friendly advice :)
JD

Thanks for the vote of confidence Guys. I can't comment on Simon's book
because I haven't read it.
What I can say is that my book is not aimed at the novice MetaStock user. It
won't be necessary for my readers to have memorised the MFL section of the
User Manual verbatim but it would certainly pay to have a working knowledge
of it. There may be one or two very gifted individuals that can learn the
MetaStock Formula Language and be up-to-speed with the program within days,
but for most of us it takes weeks, months or even years of effort.
My book is mostly about increasing the skills of those who have already put
in some effort in learning the language, already understand the basics, and
have already encountered some of the frustrating barriers to productivity. I
don't have all the answers but those that I do have will be in the book.
Chapter titles to date are as follows.
Logic for Laymen
Is everything in order
Where do I start
Not enough room to move
Breaking the 20 variable limit
When 40 constants aren't enough
The case of the disappearing plot
What's in a moving average
Single digit precision you say
On the leading edge
Getting to grips with PREV
Thanks for the memory
Trying to go straight
It's a frame-up
A time for everything
Allsorts
Integrating MetaStock tools
Putting it all together
More code examples
Roy
