if i were you i would take the entire function set in TS and port it over to
VB functions -- command for command (w/o stepping on copyrights) so that
your VB environment worked as close to EL as possible without the errors.
in other words, it would have the same functionality as EL which we are all
familiar with and really sort of like but without the errors. that way, the
migration from TS and TW would be as seemless as could be.  you would have
to add 1 thing in that EL symbolizes the array you want to work on (C, H, L,
O, etc) and you would have to pass that into the VB function but that's not
hard espcially if there's a consistent way to do it throughout all functions
in the library.

you know i like excel and use it a lot but not in a trading environment.
the reason why is that excel is buggy and prone to GPs.  ts4 is more stable
than excel IMO and i wouldn't trust it to run continuously throuhout the
day.  i would prefer a redirect to a text file option.  much more reliable.

haven't checked this but ts5 is supposed to be COM compliant.  need to check
this out.

i agree and i think ts4 is a piece of shit in this regards. i curse
everytime it rounds off.  it does make a huge difference but what can you
do.  however, it all seems relative within the context of the indicator, as
long as the indicator is calculated consistently the same way everytime.

hope this helps.

brian.
