Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] Change the setting of function, MetaStock Email Archive

Thank you Rob and formulaprimer for your replys

It means that FML return only the default values.

OK, if I use the predefined fuctions comes with several pakages, e.g. Alghaomega pakage
I can't use such pakages' functions in explorer and system tester!, It seems weak .

Am I right?

Thanks all.

Any Exploration that uses a formula with input values will only use the default values.

If you want to use different values then change the defaults prior to running the Explorer

Hi

I am looking for a way to change the setting of a function in Metastock, when I call it by fml

For example, if I have Schaff Trend Cycle Oscillator v1.0, which is:

{ variables input }
pdsCy:=Input( "Schaff cycle periods",2,252, 10);
pdsSh:=Input( "Short periods",1,252, 5);
pdsLg:=Input( "Long periods",2,2520, 8);

{ Schaff Trend Cycle }
MCD:=Wilders( MP(),pdsSh) -Wilders( MP(),pdsLg) ;
ST:=(MCD-LLV( MCD,pdsCy) )
/(HHV(MCD,pdsCy) -LLV(MCD, pdsCy))*100;
STC:=Wilders( ST,pdsCy/ 2);

{ automatic trigger levels }
pk:=Ref(STC, -1)>STC AND Ref(STC,-1)>Ref(STC,-2);
pkVal:=If(pk, Ref(STC,- 1),0);
pkAvg:=Cum(pkVal) /(Cum(pk) +.000001) ;
pkAvg:=If(pkAvg= 0,100,pkAvg) ;
tr:=Ref(STC, -1);
trVal:=If(tr, Ref(STC,- 1),0);
trAvg:=Cum(trVal) /(Cum(tr) +.000001) ;

{ plot on own window }
pkAvg;trAvg; STC

The question is, how I can call the function by FML, and set the input variables.
This is actually helpful in applying, explorer and system tester.

So, please help!
