I'm new to Metastock and I'm learning the formula language and I'm
somewhat shocked by what seems like some significant deficiencies -
IMO.
For example, why is there no way to write a custom indicator that
takes one or more variables as arguments? Perhaps I am missing
something, but I don't see how to do it. If I want to write an
indicator that calculates the separation between, say 3 moving
averages, I have to write the indicator for 3 fixed averages. If I
want to write a system that uses the separation between the 5, 10 and
12 day moving averages, and also for the 30, 40, and 45 day MAs, I
have to write two different indicators. This seems crazy to me.
Again, I hope I'm just missing something obvious.
I can envision a function like this:
VarFml("formula name", arg1, arg2, ...argn);
Then you could write your formulas with some special resrerved
variable names, like arg1, arg2, etc and use those in your
indicators, or system tests, or experts, or whatever.
I don't suppose you could do this in the MDK, would require some
core changes in MS itself - right?
