Not to disagree with Phil here completely, but there are toolkits
available for VB that offer TS like functions. FM Labs has one that is
written in C and has VB interaface. It supports most of the functions in
TS plus has a trading system and optimization toolkit builtin. Biggest
negatives are that is only 16-bit (32,000 bars) and is somewhat buggy. I
havn't used the VB interface (with 20+ years of C I don't need it), but
it's there.
http://www.fmlabs.com (I think).
