Another alternative is to check out AmiBroker - sure it's not MetaStock, but the languages are very similar and it implements lots of "latch" functionality natively.  AmiBroker can read in MetaStock data.

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] Computer Power


Having decided that I'm not going to be able to get away from PREV code, I'm
now trying to work out how to speed up my MS operation. Have some of you
power users out there found that using faster processors and more RAM makes
a noticeable speed improvement with MS?

I am using a Dell Dimension Pentium 4 1.8GHz machine with 768MB of RAM right
now. In my frustration I'm even wondering if I should go to a dual processor
workstation - but there would need to be a meaningful pickup in speed. And
is the bottleneck processing speed, or memory, or bus size, or what?

Are there any settings (e.g. virtual memory) that can be changed to make a
difference?

Any and all comments welcome (apart from "code more efficiently" - as I
think Roy is about to tell us, when you are using latches with independent
variables and trailing stop code, getting away from PREV is real hard).

Best
Andrew
