Hi Tim,
I wrote a bunch of C code that I put into a DLL and
call from TradeStation. I put in the ability to use
both helio and geocentric, declination, and latitude.
I added the ability to generate time & date of exact
aspects of any planet/asteroid to any other, as well
as aspects by orb. I also added lunar apogees &
perigees, planets in signs, retrograde planets, and
planetary lines.
I have not done extensive testing, because my toolset
is new. I only started working on it last fall, and I
work a day-job as a programmer so my time is limited.
I hope to get some more time after my current project
winds up this summer.
