I have used it. It
works well for my purpose (generating random "BUY" or "SELL" signals to test a
random entry system).

I originally tried
using a negative seed to produce a new random distribution every time MetaStock
refreshed, but I had some problems with consistent results; I note that when
used with a negative seed, the .dll uses the internal clock as an initial seed
and I believe that some of my systems with a large number of "Fml" and "FmlVar"
calls were taking sufficiently long to recalculate that the random generator was
picking up new seeds on the way through; whatever it was, it would work fine for
a number of times and then intermittently produce a result that was clearly
garbage; as I said, I believe this was a result of my specific application, not
the random generator itself.

I continue to use
the .dll using a positive seed (this returns the same result each refresh until
you change the initial seed number manually).

I have not done any
statistical testing of the "randomness" of the output; I am only using it
generate a random binary signal and it works fine for my
purposes.

Random tick generator
Have a look at <A

There is a free Random Number generator there
that you can download for free. I have not tired it.

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] Random
tick generator
Hi there, I“m trying to develope a trading system and in
order to test it I would like to know if there is any program on the net
to generate random ticks (in fact not really random, but representing a
"usual" trading session randomly, that is with uptrends, downtrends,
...). No matter if it just gives a plain text file.Thanx in
advance.
