Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] metastock input problem

["Roy Larsen" <rlarsen_quik@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Hemant


There's a method of combining two input values into one Input() function that works well for me. The "Cn" input in "Trade Equity GV LE" allows for the buy costs of a trade to be entered as the high-order three digits, and the sell costs to be entered as the low order three digits. That 6-digit number is then split back into its two constituents with "Cn" being just the buy costs and "Cx" being the sell costs. 

Here's the actual code taken from TE version 6.1 which with this method allows 7 values to be input via 6 Input() functions

{Taken from "Trade Equity GL LE" version 6.1}
Cn:=Input("Buy/Sell Costs",0,999999,025025);
---
---
Cx:=(Cn-1000*Int(Cn/1000));
Cn:=Int(Cn/1000);

The latest version of TE (version 6.2) allows for a multiplier to be used with "Cn" and "Cx" and an additional input is required. The multiplier is a stand-alone input but buy and sell delays ("Nd" and "Xd") are merged into one input. As the delay values have to be used as a "Periods" parameter for subsequent code they requires a little extra attention when being split into constituents.

 {Taken from "Trade Equity GL LE" version 6.2}
A:=Input("Cost Factor 0-2 (/1 /10 /100)",0,2,0);
Cn:=Input("Buy/Sell Costs",0,999999,030030);
Nd:=Input("Buy/Sell Delays",0,55,00);
---
I:=Int(11*Frac(A/10));
I:=If(I>1,100,If(I=1,10,1));
---
---
Cx:=(Cn-1000*Int(Cn/1000))/I;
Cn:=Int(Cn/1000)/I;
Xd:=LastValue(Int(Frac(Nd/9)*10));
Nd:=LastValue(Int(Nd/9));

The method used is straightforward and very effective, although there are also potential problems that need to be avoided. Single digit precision errors introduced by MetaStock pose the most obvious threat to using the technique successfully. That's why "Nd" is divided by 9 rather than 10 when extracting "Xd" and "Nd" on the last two lines of my code.

Hope this helps.


Roy
