Today I did a full test run using system code and indicators.
All went smoothly.
Somehow TS is able to take the FS data with no decimals and
create the same system reports I'd get on other feeds. The code
alterations for price calculations in my system modules was
necessary and works well. I have not used any EL position
functions that require dolloar values as I normally don't have
any use for them.
Some form of FS data interpretation has been coded into TS4 so
that it can chart data and do system reports but interpretations are
not there for EL so I'll have to roll my own when coding.
