It may not help a lot but there was at one time an open source software project that had a huge number of technical indicators all coded up. It was I believe implemented in Perl but the entire code base was available. If I have time I can go dig around for it.
If you really want to be a masochist you could pay up for MatLab which has a full library as well all in C.
I would tend to agree that rather than recoding everything you might want to consider using an add on approach to MS to do what you need to do. I would think writing an add on in the end would be much easier than doing all of this coding (and testing to make sure you have usable results) from scratch.
There are also commercial technical analysis libraries out there too for coders. Again the problem you will have to deal with is how well that code has been implemented and tested. MS for all its flaws has been around long enough to have shaken out a lot of annoying time-series gotchas (empty dates, holidays, etc, etc) all of which can throw off results.
Just my two cents.

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.
