No version of MetaStock allows you to specify
colour information inside a formula.
No version of MetaStock provides you with loop capabilities (for/while/repeat-until)
inside a standard formula
- you can do loops in the MetaStock Developer's Kit in C/C++ (but this
is very complex)
- you can also do it in Vitamin C (http://www.compuvision.com.au/VitaminC.htm)
- much easier
- you might be able to simulate some loops with PREV and latches - but
your head might hurt trying
