Hi Bill,
I thought I'd reply to your post, having had similar questions in the past.
both Hasnums/Global variable professional can pass bar-by-bar values from an
indicator to a system for historical testing. It
simply requires you to save all the bar by bar values from the indicator,
then the system can easily access these values. Also be sure your
MaxBarsBack settings are the same in both the indicator and system. IEC has
programmed this type of "indicator to system" project too many times during
the past three years for me! It's a great way of mixing tick charts to time
charts, or time to time charts. For instance, it allows you to pass the
indicator values from a
5-min chart to a 60-min chart, or a 4-tick chart to a 30-min chart.
No relationship, just a supreme pleasure to refer anyone to a highly
competent coding crew: http://www.InvestLabs.com
