Re: Mixing open next with data2

Is it a Bug or a Limitation????
Either way you can't do it without a Workaround, as follows (works for TS4
at least):

1. Make a user function called "nextopen" that contains the following:

DefineDllFunc:"nxtopen.dll",LONG,"GetOpen",LPLONG,INT;
NextOpen=GetOpen(&Open,-1)/PriceScale;

2. Copy the attached dll file into your omega/prog directory.  I think this
should do it.

Good luck,
Phil
