Robert,
There is no such converter and just can not be, as these two languages are
completely different, i.e. they have different purposes, they run in the
different environments (EL code runs in the TS environment and the code
produced by VB - in the Windows env), the code has different life cycle, etc
etc - so in addition to the syntax keywords to replace, the hypotetical
converter should also prepare the simulated TS environment for your VB code
(data series, tick and end of the bar events etc).
Of course, it's (theoretically) possible to write a "virtual Tradestation"
which will simulate the original TS environment for the user code (something
like PlayStation simulators for the Windows environment which allow to play
PS games on PC). But the efforts needed for that are just can't be
comparised with a need of such thing.
Take care,
DB
