RE: mixing tick charts with other data streams

["cwest" <cwest@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To second-guess you and extend your needs for a moment, you require a tool
that'll read data from several sources. The filtering or parsing of the
(multi-sourced) data to meet given criteria, which is the essence of your
trading system, determines what is traded and when. Further, you'd then like
to analyze the performance of those trades in the context of a portfolio,
and presumably generate accounting style reports. No matter what you do, TS
will never be a tool for this level of backtesting. Never, imo!

Subject:	mixing tick charts with other data streams

Thanks to those who replies to my question,.  I understand that what I wish
to accomplish can (and has) been done thru the use of DLL's but my program
skills are largely inadequate for the task, although I could probably muddle
thru in a year or so.  Would it be possible to bring a data from a second
stream  using a globally declared array that included a data point  and a
time-stamp?  Anbody have any ideas?

Thanks
