OH PIERRE,

DO YOU WANT AN EXAMPLE OF HOW OMEGA PROGRAMS THEIR OWN INDICATORS?

YOU SAID THAT SETTING MY VARIABLE iRawPrice TO ZERO WAS A WASTE OF TIME.
AND THAT YOU WOULD TEACH ME A LESSON.

WELL, GUESS WHAT PAL. --  TIME FOR SCHOOL!!!!



I SUGGEST YOU LOOK AT SAY, THE ADX (AND ALL THE OTHER BUILT INDICATORS)
INDICATOR,  THAT OMEGS SHIPS WITH THEIR PRODUCT.

IN THERE YOU WILL FIND THAT THEY ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS INITIALIZE THEIR
VARIABLES!!!

HERE'S JUST A TANTELIZING EXCERPT FROM ADX (I COULD HAVE PICKED Accum
Distribution, CCI Average -- the list goes on and on like your BS)

...

#BeginCmtry
	{Intialize variables}
	BullKeyReversal=FALSE;
	BearKeyReversal=FALSE;
	BearKeyReversal=FALSE;
	LTHighestUder=FALSE;
	LongTermDays=45;
	ShortTermTrend=0;

Etc.


The King Of EL Coding,
Brian

PS: HERE'S A TIP FOR ALL YOU EL NEWBIES OUT THERE.  EXAMPLES ARE THE BEST
WAY TO LEARN PROGRAMMING.  LOOK AT EXAMPLES IN OMEGA'S CODE.  TWEAK IT.
PLAY WITH IT.  ASK YOUSELF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF.

THE MORE YOU RELY ON STUFF (I'M BEING KIND) LIKE WHAT'S BEING DOLED ON THIS
LIST -- WITHOUT ANY SERIOUS PEER REVIEW OR ACCOUNTABILITY -- THE CLOSER
YOU'LL BE FOOD FOR THE VENDORS.

THIS COULDN'T BE A MORE CLASSIC CASE OF THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND.
