Re: "The real issue is that EL automatically keeps track of previous values
of variables, etc. and NinjaScript doesn't. As you can see from the
translation above, quite a bit of C# code goes towards implementing this EL
feature in NinjaTrader".
Ah...the old "I forgot to implement a circular buffer" problem.
Here we are...state-of-the-art software 10 YEARS after Easy Language and
STILL many features
are not available.
Suddenly, the Cruz brothers look pretty smart after all.
The thing that scares me about Ninja is: rapid obsolescence of existing
code.
i.e. I wonder how Version 7 is going to change things.
It's purported to be a blockbuster release.
If anyone remembers back...TS2000i made a lot of silly workarounds in TS4
pretty obsolete from the get-go.
