>>If you merely download the new files from Mark Jurik's site, it will NOT
take care of the problem.   You must make certain changes to the
way you code his functions and indicators in TS 2000i.<<

The revised Jurik code, available for downloading, includes modifed 
indicators/systems that do work correctly with SP3 and earlier versions of TS.  

However, if *anyone* is upgrading to SP3, you can avoid a number of EL 
problems in *your own* studies by coding in the style described in 
http://www.jurikres.com/down/sp3.txt   The style encourages using variables 
for keeping time series values, and usually produces more efficient code.  

I can understand where Omega is trying to go with their mods to series/simple
functions.  However, I cannot understand why users were not pre-warned in 
*detail* to the possible impact all this would have on their studies' calculations.  

I urge *all* SP3 users to verify the calculations in their systems.  
Sometimes this is easy to do, and may be nothing more than watching 
indicators that mimic calculations in a system.  Sometimes it is very difficult, 
as when calcs depend on knowing the performance of prior trades (not easy to 
figure out in an indicator).

If you discover that SP3 has indeed changed the calcs in your own studies, in
a way that you did not expect, send your findings to the EL developers at ...
