Hi friends!
how to make a pointer to have the value of the envelope (+ and -) of a
moving average?
Ex:
{================================}
a1:=envelope positive ( Mov(C,21) );
b1:=envelope negative ( Mov(C,21) );
a1; b1;
{================================}
Any advice would be appreciated.

Shelley,
Maybe you have a problem with scaling.
Right click on your indicator in the chart and select SCALING and MERGE
WITH SCALE ON RIGHT (OR LEFT).

Make sure each of the indicators is plotted on the same scale. Right
click each line/indicator and Merge with scale on right (or whatever
is the preferred scale)
More on this subject can be found in the MS Users Manual.

Use a spreadsheet, col1 contains the original ticker, col2 contains the
extension, col3 =concatenate(col1,col2).
Save the file as text.

Subject: Re: Changing existing date format (Excel files)
Dear all,
In my Excel files, my expiry date, date of change, date of listing are found
to be in the default US format ie. m/d/yyyy. The dates key-in are supposed
to be in d/m/yyyy (UK format). For eg, 5/1/2006 (5-January-2006) previously
key-in, is found to be 1-May-2006. Re-formatting the cells to UK date
format did not help. Neither do changing the regional setting in control
panel. Manually inter-changing the day and month is mad. Maybe there is
some way to automate the inter-changing process for these previous dates.
Thank you.
Best regards,
ckng

Dusant,
I'd thought of this but I want to carry across all the data too. As
far as I can tell it is not possible to copy all the symbols from my
database, change them, and then re-attach them to the data.

You wud need to go one step at a time then. Use mimansoor's free utility,
which should be available in the files section.
Convert your entire database into text format. Then use a text editor like
editplus. You can download an evaluation version from its website.
Or excel, if the text data files are lesser than 65536 lines. Add whatever
you want, and then reconvert it back to MS.
Enjoy.

Subject: RE: Re: Changing existing date format (Excel files)
Are you certain what appears as dates in excel are in fact numeric values
that can be formatted as dates, or are they text strings? When the
Downloader exports a file into Excel format the date is a text string and
can't be changed with date formatting. You need to use datevalue function to
convert the text string to a number and then you can format the number to
whateevr date format you want:
=datevalue(03/06/2006) gets 38782; the 38782 can be turned into any date
format you want.

I thought I had sent this. If so, sorry.
The Downloader will send tickers and data out as individual excel files - 1
per ticker. Insert a column adjacent to the ticker column. Concatonate as
has been suggested. Do copy paste special values for the concatonated
column, Deleite the original column. You now have the data with new tickers.
You need a VBNA macro open each file in a folder, perform the task and save
the file.

One more thing - - -
In System Tester -> New Simulation -> Check the "Perform 'quick test'

Make sure you have the optimizer turned off
Reef-Break
Philosophical Point -
It is very easy to get the MS SysTester to give you results that look
dangerously good. Once you have a system that appears to work, make
sure you thoroughly check the results (trade-by-trade). Or better,
give the rules to some other software platform (TradeStation,
AmiBroker, TradeSim etc) and see if they get similar results.
Experienced system developers say that about 1300 trades are necessary
before there is enough data to say whether a system is valid or not.
Then papertrade it for a while.
Then trade it with small lots for a while.
Then finally go into "full production".
