I approach any programming problem by studying and documenting the results I
want to achieve. Quick and dirty studies, painbars, and indicators are often
helpful in visualing results and testing elements of the design because
assumptions are the bane of programmers. The process of building and managing a
graphics engine is major work, so I limit my VB work to non-graphics processes
which screen and trade and report. I develop from scratch in VB rather than
writing in EL and translating. I used to do a lot in EL but kept hitting memory
limits and bugs so I took a hiatus from EL for a couple of years, then returned
to EL some months ago and hit the same limits and problems. Now that I've seen
the specs for TradeLab (www.sciapp.com) which opens the graphics and data
management engines to the trader who knows how to write VB , I'm building VB
routines which I'll be able to use when TradeLab is released. If you're not a
programmer, you can learn to program but it will take considerable time and
commitment which may detract from your trading. I believe there's a VB learning
edition which might offer a point of entry.
