Hello Clyde,
Perhaps I'm missing something here, but I remember the whole fuss
was over why TS didn't employ double precision in the calculations that
needed double precision. Even Excel has had it for ages. And any real
software requiring mathematical calculations would have double
precision.
Then again, in hindsight, TS made a wise decision to thumb their nose
at this, betting that those who wined about it would make their own
workarounds anyway, like linking with excel, etc. In turn, TS would
have software that is faster, albeit, not quite accurate.
I jumped ship after TS2000i, so I don't know. But this problem
existing in TS 7.0 seems ridiculous given that computers are much
faster, more RAM, etc. Of course, they market to the amateur, and many love to
load up charts with 900 googles of 1-tick bars, and having that loaded
and overlayed with indicators and systems in a quick fashion is more important than
anything else, including accuracy.
