RE: [EquisMetaStock Group] converting metastock formula to c#

Before considering trying to implement it all in databases and C# which is
really quite a big project, I recommend you also consider other charting
packages.  AmiBroker has a MetaStock-like language but does support many
things the MS language doesn't (loops, proper backtesting, walk forward
testing etc.)

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] converting metastock formula to c#

 

I've been a metastock user for a while, and have created some 
formulas which now, later down the track would take me a long time to 
get my head around and understand if I was to have to redo them. 
I've also got formulas that I've used from sites that give the basic 
formulas which I've then built on top of (of course in those cases I 
never understood the original formulas to start with so would find it 
very hard to deconstruct them).
The reason I want to?
I've found some limitations with Metastock's testers and explorers 
and my programmer husband has kindly agreed to set up a database and 
rewrite it all for me to do tests - in c#. He's said if I can 
explain the formulas he can rewrite them for me (and I'll then be 
able to do any test I want with no limits), but it's up to me to 
simplify the metastock formulas to begin with - ie translate them to 
text instructions, or even excel format. Obviously it would even 
easier if there was some wonderful free compiler out there that could 
just do the whole project, from metastock straight to c#, but failing 
that, are there any other conversion tips anyone can give me? A lot 
of the functions are nested within nests within nests etc and I'm 
struggling to understand what I've done.
Thanks for any suggestions.
